All cowards now

Choose your death. Drown slowly from global warming? Drown quickly from a tsunami? Maybe a virus? AIDS, MRSA or even Ebola? Perhaps a group death from a giant meteorite? Or a transport-related death like DVT? Or a plane crash? Too little food? Or too much? We all like to be scared. The media knows that, too. But most people only have a finite amount of courage before they become permanently frightened. Caesar liked to point out that cowards die a thousand times, when a brave man dies just once. So let's hope the dark cloud of the very real events in London has just one silver lining. It puts the Jeremiahs in perspective and stops us doing the terrorists job for them.
