6. What frightens me is the American people are behaving like
field mice. They are afraid of just about everything. One could say that America is phobic en masse.
As you have stated, that paves the way for unscrupulous leaders to exploit that neurotic fear. One of the lowest days in American history was when the gvt. was suggesting that we use duct tape to prepare our homes for a poison gas attack. Can you imagine what was going through the heads of the little children as they watched their parents seal up part of their home with tape? "Why are you doing that papa"? "To make our house safe if we are attacked with poison gas", said father. That kid was never the same and home was never the same.
