One thing we were taught in USSR I learned well to use it here:
"Hero dies only ONCE, coward dies every day"
I fly, travel, and won't let terrorists disrupt my life and make me die EVERY DAY....

Unfortunately, terrorists have disrupted my way of making a living; and probably permanently. I'm still driving for a day job; and whenever the terror alert goes up, the chem plants add more layers of security. It took me over an hour yesterday to get from the security gate of one plant to their shipping & receiving. It used to take 10 minutes.
As for my own time, I still control that.
Safety? I live in Houston, the home of much of the country's energy production. If terrorism ceased to exist today, this place would still be very dangerous to live in. Add that it is a totally Liberal city and the effect that has on crime rates; and you might wonder (as I do!) why anyone would live here. We hear of several murders every day. Many shootings happen between vehicles on the street; but you never hear much about it on the national news.
Give me a small town anytime! :grrr:
Oh, and Pd, I'm just biding my time...your day's comin'...
