Days of High Adventure: Satanic Panic

[mattag08]

As a professional in the aviation industry I know this trend all too well. Crowd psychology has almost completely proven that people tend to overreact to things that they know nothing about and under-react to things that are actually well known. Fear of the unknown is far more scary than bad things that are well within their grasp.

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

People are superstitious, irrational and downright fear-mongering. I think people have grown up a bit. ... people kicked up a stink about rap music and goth bands during the aftermath of the Columbine massacre .... but I think most people knew better by this point.
