BRAVE OLYMPIANS

People who jump off snowy mountains do not scare easily. But I am wondering if Russia is not trying to psych out the friends and relatives of the athletes.

Terror is with us always. IF WE STAY HOME IN FEAR, THEN THE TERRORISTS WIN BY DEFAULT.

Two years ago, I watched as the news raised fears over the Olympics in Britain. The stories sound the same as the stories about safety in Russia. The Boston Marathon taught the US that all sports events can be dangerous. But as my Mother says, "You can be killed crossing the street."

If you are frightened you should stay home. Paranoid people can really spoil a good party.
