Fear........the new weapon against the poor

Reading an article today about how the elderly are afraid that the goverment is going to encourage their doctors to push euthansia on them. How that the goverment is so desperate that it wants the elderly to die younger so they can save money. Special interest groups are stating that the goverment wants to tax the already burdened middle class. Global warming is destroying our world but our kids do not get enough sunshine! Fear.....a powerful tool which whether informed or not causes people to think and react irrationally. A wise man once said "we have nothing to fear......but fear itself"...........what happened to that school of thought.
