This apparent eminent disaster ideology has been a component of a few people I have known over the years. Despite their other great qualities they just have this particular quirk. I am sure all of us that don’t have it can remember seeing it in a friend or two from high school, or even further back(and they could see our quirks too).
What are the most serious real risks to the individual? It seems to me that currently in the U.S., the worst immediate threats to the most individuals is injury from risks that we take voluntarily or semi-voluntarily, random crime, personal illness and/or poverty each possibly largely brought on by personal choices.
Sure ,we also are at risk of industrial disasters, military attack or natural disasters and this is relative to where we live. If you want to minimize those risks, move now.
Speaking of risks, keep those trick-o-treaters as safe as possible.
