Flight or Fight?

Let me preface this by stating that I am not a psychologist. Reason is not the exclusive domain of either shrinks or preachers.

Some Americans are saying that they won't go to see United 93 because it is "too soon". Why do so many humans believe that if they stop worrying about or ignoring a problem it will go away and in its place will be sunshine, lollipops, and everything that's beautiful? Let's take look at our flight or fight reasoning.

If one encounters a momma bear and she expresses her displeasure with one's presence, a decision must be made, and quickly. First,(a) why is she threatening? Next,(b) is there a snowball's chance in Hell of overcoming her? Finally(c) what is the most reasonable course of action? Answers...(a) she wants to protect her cubs,(b) maybe so maybe not, and last,(c) well, this one is more difficult. Should a person just put this out of mind and continue on as if everything is normal? I think that would be tantamount to suicide by bear. It is probably best to slowly back away and get to safety. But if she persists and pursues one, then it is most likely best to take a high-powered rifle and shoot at her center mass.

Terrorists are the bear. Twisted Islam is the cubs. Since Muslim terrorists pursue death, our death, we have no choice but to kill them.

Some people need to be reminded every day. Go see the movie and stop pretending everything will be fine.
