the outcome of the election

[ShadowHM]

  Reasonable people can disagree without being disagreeable.  We all need to discuss this malady called terrorism, because at least in the US we are not going to take it anymore.  At least not laying down.  I don't agree with everything that has been enacted here, but I respect that the people in charge are acting rather than wringing their hands.

Amen !

I am seeing a lot of carping here, instead of constructive ideas. I am sure that a lot of the steps taken to counter terrorism are downright counter-productive. I am equally sure that some of them are productive. And in most cases, I don't know - I don't know exactly what all the steps being taken are and/or I don't know whether they will bear the sort of fruit I would like.

However, the point I want to add to kandrathe's comments is that carping is not going to solve the problem. How about some constructive ideas instead?

And to eppie, in particular:

I think I'm going to do some heavy digging in my garden...I want a bomb shelter.

If that is the most constructive thing you can think of doing, why not? It beats the heck out of squandering your energy berating folks who actually might share your concerns.
