Ed. of AlterNet.org (an online community of radical progressive thinkers)... Don has a great article "Fear in America: Fear Dominates Politics, Media and Human Existence in America--And It's Getting Worse" (a quick read)... </p>
<p>It does my heart good to find current folks taking up a series of articles on their sites like this one Don and AlterNet have initiated. Now, I don't think any of the articles following Don's are all that great... and rather, more distractive to me... from the punchy issues that Don himself raises. I wrote to him and maybe we can collaborate. I'm glad his article is out there, and their site has near 1 million "Likes"... whatever, that actually means... but yes, I thought to copy and past a few tid bit quotes that stand out for me as so true...</p>

<p><em>FEAR IN AMERICA by Don Hazen, March 15, 2015</em></p>
<p><em>Fear Dominates Politics, Media and Human Existence in America—And It’s Getting Worse</em></p>
<p><em>Today, AlterNet launches a series of articles and investigations on fear, and how to combat it.</em></p>

<p><span class="font-size-5"><strong>"We at AlterNet feel our society is overrun with a destructive and growing social preoccupation with fear.... Politically, socially and emotionally, fear is arguably the most powerful potent force in society."</strong></span></p>
