Comment on Nothing to Fear… by Evil Bender

As to being terrified of an economic system–these appeals to fear only work as long as the Thing Terrifying Us is kept vague and scary and inflated.

Same theory is at play today. As long as we’re afraid of Terror, we won’t notice that the terrorists are mostly either a) radicals with strong anti-Western sentiment or b) recruits from places where people are poor and powerless and desperate. If we made a push for reforms to help those in group b, group a would find themselves in a world not safe for them.

But that would involve admitting the true nature of the problem, rather than trying to Scare the Living Fuck out of people all the time. So we know how likely that is…

I visited yer blog today because I was going to leave a totally snarktastic blog idea (because inquiring minds like SoSnarky want to know!) but maybe today isn’t the day so you’ve earned a little sympathy. I won’t ask for a full length response today. But you’re not off the hook! When you get the chance SoSnarky would love to read the Fatman’s response to Emily Gould’s recent article in the NYT:

Funny you should ask…pretty much Gas, economy & Politics. Just not in the way you may think—Mostly Broken A/C’s Promotions lost to office politics and well…high energy bills. Pfft.

Ugh! My best to you and yours. The Bender household has had a rough few days too–I wonder what’s in the air (besides gas, the economy, politics, etc….)
