The Sky is Falling

A general trend the last seven years has been to keep everyone scared. The Catholic Church used to do this in the middle ages to keep their flock subservient on the outside chance there really was a hell. Now politicians do it to keep people marching lockstep behind any inane policy.

The saddest part of this is that some people know better than to scare people but they do it to hold on to power. The other people just are susceptible to fear. If there is a .0000000000001 percent chance the sky could fall they will act as if there is a 99.9999999999 percent certainty that it will.

Some smart and not so nice people know that about you.
