If you has...Irrational fear.<br /><br />Interesting concept.<br /><br />If you has avoided the crowd at the Boston Marathon, becasue of the possibility of a terrorist bombing in a public venue, and announced it ahead of time, you would have been lambasted for being irrational. Adn after the fact, you'd have been at home alive and unhurt.<br /><br />There are some people who avoid any kind of crowds, being fearful of crowds themselves. I'm sure there's an official phobia name for it. But-- crowds generally are more dangerous. Pickpockets, con artists, etc, hang out in crowds. And a terrorist act is far more likely to take place in one. Can it be seen any more as an irrational fear? Or a sensible one?Gospacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04570281939230746682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-50470548494702177092013-04-28T21:14:23.131-05:002013-04-28T21:14:23.131-05:00El Pollo,
