Should we Refuse To Live In Fear After The Attacks In Paris?

Nice article that I thought I would copy, paste, and share with the RP Community this morning. Do you agree? I agree! We as a free people must refuse to let terrorism or terrorists scare us or dictate our mindsets.

Military families know better than anyone the threat posed by ISIS, but we must refuse to let them instill fear.

I've looked these MF'ers in the eye, and found them lacking.
They don't scare me.
I hope to meet a few of them, real soon.
I have a Christmas present for each of them. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but it weighs 63 grains...

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Colonel; Get mad, not scared.

If you run in fear, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your principles, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your aspirations, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your rights, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your standards, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your ideals, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your freedom, then the terrorists have already won.
If you abandon your dreams, then the terrorists have already won.
If you start to act like the terrorists, then the terrorists have already won.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Absolutely not. The purpose of terrorism is to make you change your life.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, I refuse to live in fear from anyone. When I went to Vietnam, I was too young to understand fear from the enemy. Now, I'm too old to live in fear from anyone.
