What does that say about me?
The TV is full of coverage on Bangladesh. What concerns me. Is
overreaction to these terrorist strikes. Makes for support for
politicians such as Trump. They exploit people's fears. Alzheimer's
claims many more lives each year than the terrorists do. Or gun deaths
in the U.S. But we don't let that stuff faze us. We take it
matter-of-factly. Until it comes to terrorism. I concede. Terrorism
takes an awful toll. But what about the war in Syria? But what about
the civilian toll in Iraq? So many, many human tragedies. Terrorism is a
mere drop in the bucket. When it comes to the toll from human
tragedies occurring every day. I guess I've found a way to steel
(protect) myself from the sad realities of life. What does that say
about me? --Jim Broede
