You're right, kooka. It seems that people will always let fear override
their common sense. Many will go out and buy guns. Others will put their children in private schools. Some will choose not to go to college, or, if they do, will choose an online institution. Fear is an institution we attend through avoidance, denial, and increased personal security. And we tend to completely overreact. Fear perpetuates itself, mostly through poorly thought-out reactionary activities or frustration from not knowing what to do, feelings of inadequacy, etc.
Good post.
