Is the politics of fear spreading?

[Not Afraid]

Ernesto has time - and enough open sea - to return to hurricane strength before hitting the Keys and Southern Florida. Or at least that is what was reported 20 minutes ago.

In this case, I dont think it is fear but reality. We all know the damage a bad hurricane at the "right" spot can do and we also know just how useless our government is in helping mop up. One can't help think "what if". But, Hurricane season is just getting started - we're only on the letter "E".
