Courage
Fear believes—courage doubts. Fear falls upon the earth and prays—courage stands erect and thinks. Fear retreats—courage advances. Fear is barbarism—courage is civilization. Fear believes in witchcraft, in devils and in ghosts. Fear is religion, courage is science.—Robert Ingersoll

You are on fire today Norm.
Of course, on the other hand how can there be courage without fear?
"Fear believes—courage doubts."
Does that maxim apply to when it comes to the 911 Commission Report and its OCT (official conspiracy theory)?
hhhmmmm.............

Such a sweeping analogy will always fall apart under close examination because of the sheer size of the ground it attmepts to cover.
But there is a certain poetic truth in the statement, a poetic generalization if you will, that does cover the territory.

"Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear." Baruch Spinoza
And as we know, Spinoza considers hope as a sadness, thus as bad.
