A frightened mind seeks certainty because certainty feels safe, which is why a frightened mind rejects anything that undermines the feeling of certainty. Uncertainty is scary. Uncertainty is effectively used to herd people in a political and ultimately social direction. Discernment of such manipulative tactics is an absolute necessity when judging the rational from the irrational. Fear Not!

Tim adds:

A man on a life raft will thank the Good Lord for the most remote, inhospitable chunk of rock he can find. That is the plan of the Left, to make life a makeshift raft tossed about in stormy waters so we grab onto anything handy. They will, of ocurse, supply that little chunk of land. Michael Crichton observed this in his book "State of Fear". Fear is the control mechanism for society by our modern ruling class. The universities gin up some emergency, the media promotes it, the political class enshrines it into law. It wouldn't happen without the unscrupulous use of fear against the public. Sadly it works. Global Warming is one example.
