Wake the fuck up , Americans, you live in one of the safest nations on earth, and would be the safest if you got rid of the self-induced self-created media paranoia.

And the GUNS.

American paranoia and fear are self-inflicted wounds, which the selfish, lying GOP and media exploit....it is really is a form of national abuse of civilians and it has to end....come on, mass media, can't you make money and feel powerfully in control of America by NOT using faux fear?

Grow up, for fucks's sake!
