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.

The 2014 EU Terrorism Situation Report from Europol makes interesting reading.

It SHOULD open a few eyes, but I suspect that it won't really.

I will not let this change how I live my life. As some of my friends know, if you enter my home uninvited you get to choose open or closed casket. I think in the wake of the recent attacks in Paris, and all of the out cry of the refugees coming to America (It will happen, there is nothing we can do), it is time that people really understand what situational awareness is. I mean, don't go on DEFCON 4 or whatever, but start to see and hear what is going on around you. Be aware of your surroundings. Some people I feel take their own safety for granted.
