I live out in the middle of nowhere.
If anything I'd think terrorists would feel sorry for those of us who live out here - I mean, there's no Fry's - no Red Lobster and we don't even have a Super Wal-Mart like some of those other small, hick towns.

But... we are in the desert (birds of a feather?) and we DO have the 29 Palms Marine Base out here just a few miles from our city....
I don't think one area is safer than any other. Shit happens. It doesn't matter if you live in a big city, on an island, in the rainforest or in the middle of a corn field. Shit happens.
How you live your life despite the potential for shit happening is what really matters.
