Things I remain unafraid of: terrorism.

Things I actually worry about: how easy access to guns is (and what that results in) and my fellow drivers on the road. How well some of my fellow citizens are falling for and doing the work of alienating others. GOP control of the executive branch such that they get to appoint the next SC justices.

If I lived in Syria, maybe ISIS would actually rank on the list of things I worry about, but in the meantime I am not scared of the boogeyman under the bed. I’ve got plenty of more terrifying, rational fears to worry about here.
