Idiocy in Action

Morons.
This sums up my feelings pretty well.

It must suck to be that scared all the time. I wonder if this climate of fear that has taken over our culture will ever pass? McCarthyism took about a decade to wind completely down, and that is the nearest example I can think of. (at least from our recent past)

It's amazing but I think the country responded much more rationally to the Civil War, when, you know, there was actual combat happening in the country, than we have to 9/11. At least in the Civil War the North invaded the correct country (the South) instead of, say, Canada.
