33. How about the terror of those forced to live in crime ridden neighborhoods...
Or the terror of finding out you have a treatable serious disease and you don't have insurance...

Or the terror of working under conditions that would make Upton Sinclair blush...

Or the terror of being out of the Army, smack in your middle age and getting a recall notices...

Or the terror of finding your retirement nest egg has been shredded to twigs by unscrupulous unregulated financial criminals...

Or just waking up and knowing that the country has slipped so far from the ideals of Jefferson and Adams and King and Lincoln that we may never recapture the true American Spirit...

That, Mr. Bush, is true terror, not the trumped up one in a billion chance that some crazed person will blow themselves up and take you with them.
