The article about fear itself is good but I’ve had to stop partway through and giggle about this line: “We have brought this unreasoning insanity on ourselves. We see — and hear — the boogie man everywhere. ”
It’s not a man dancing enthusiastically who we see and hear, it is actually the bogeyman.
Though maybe these days you’re better off not dancing in an airport for no reason. That could cause some panic.
@Jamie – priceless, I will tweet him on it!
