I really don't get this. Are you all really afraid of everything?
And I don't worry about much of anything, and I am certainly afraid of even less. But, that doesn't mean I don't lock my car when I go shopping, that is not fear or worry, that is just caution.
Do you have home owners insurance? Do you WORRY about you house every day? Or is that just a reasonable precaution?
Do you wear seat belts, because you are afraid? and on and on...
I am actually very interested in how you all feel about this. Is it just a way to disrespect someone you disagree with, or do you really believe the only reason someone would disagree with your common sense is that they are afraid - terrorized!

I worry about getting a lane to swim laps in the sports pools, getting the t-times we desire, how my golf swing will be from day to day, getting stuck behind slow pokes on the way to the pools/golf courses, and my wife or I getting injured by the many car/cart operators that should not be driving. However, what I worry about the most is having to go back up north and not have those things to worry about. Truly a first world problem!
