The Culture of Fear

[truthaddict11]

I just finished this book, it was pretty good how the guy debunked myths and fears held by people about ordinary things and why we are afraid of these things in the first place. I really just wish he wasnt blaming guns for some things such as "if he didnt have access to a gun he probally wouldnt have killed them."

Yeah, I've heard great things. He was in Bowling in Columbine, walking through Compton with Michael Moore while he talked about his points. It was so cool, because Compton is supposed to be the most dangerous place in America, and it seemed perfectly normal.

I will order it as soon as I get to Germany.

The funny thing about that is that even people from those kinds of neighbourhoods believe that shit.

Me and my freind were in a poor black neighbourhood in Dallas, Texas; filling up his gas tank, and a black dude ran up to us started telling us how unsafe it was for us there.
