Snipers make people feel vulnerable. The odds are greater that you'll get hit by lightning, some say. As someone else said, at least with lightning you can see a storm. With snipers you don't see anything until it's too late. But human life is pretty vulnerable - who says it HAS to go on as it has? I will not forever be here at this workbench and I will have to transit to another some time - until I learn that there are no other dimensions, no other worlds, no other realities. That's what should give me confidence to be unafraid, and ready to help my fellow man regardless of the personal cost to me.I'm impressed with the Guardian Angels project in the DC area - they don bright red jackets and pump gas for people too afraid to leave their cars. I ought to be able to do at least that. But I really should do more.
