How much fear is enough? We are inundated with messages of fear! The financial future of the country is on the skids and terrorists are plotting to destroy us, if the economy doesn't crater first! Not to mention the sex offenders who live down the street! Okay you get the picture and it is apparently not pretty. So what now! Do we lock ourselves in our homes only venturing out for work and supplies. Doesn't that feel a little like living under siege? If you are among the few who are living in gated communities then you are already enjoying a privileged life under siege. If you are perhaps on the lower end of the economic scale you could find a group, usually well armed in a rural area that would let you join. All of these are presented here as options and choices that are available to people in fear.
