"We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to FearοΏ½ fear of war, 
fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or 
fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad 
debts, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on 
vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer."
---- Hunter S. Thompson

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that

there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
---- Paul Muad'Dib Atreides
