Post #267,299 by Nightowl 9/12/06 10:54:35 AM Reply	I tried to explain it again It's not what the US is doing or how many people are trying to cause me harm. It's a intelligence thing, and not the FBI, that's not what I mean. I mean we are smarter and learn more about how to stay safe from whoever might want to hurt us, or whatever catastrophe might occur. I'm not referring to whether the world or country around us is safer, only myself. Only my ability to watch over myself, and other individuals to do same.

Believing that people may want to hurt us does not help. You have no control over this. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Believing that people may want to hurt us does not help. You have no control over this. Safer doesn't mean you have any control over anything. It just means you are more able to keep yourself safer in event of something happening. I never said I could prevent an attack, nor have ever stated I am completely SAFE from the attack, I said I am safer than I used to be due to having gained knowledge that helps me stay safer and watch out for myself during ANY catastrophe. This is not just about terrorism, it's about safety in general. Sorry you don't seem to get it.
