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!
