RE: The Afraid Brigade

I found Waldo! Just like I said, there's always one looking at the camera 😄
The fear will only increase because countries are growing in size, so there's more room for mayhem. In my recent post about the Italian festival, I didn't mention the large trucks that had been placed strategically at the entrances to act as barriers. This was unthinkable just a decade or so ago, but now it's common. Large barriers are placed to prevent nutjobs from hurting people. But as you also suggest, there are those who will take advantage of our insecurities to take away our liberties and push their social engineering agendas. Interesting times we live in.

You are so right! 😆 (That particular one was staring at me every time I looked that way lol lol!)
I understand the response to some degree because there are so many people behaving badly, it just makes me sad and more than a bit annoyed. I remember when I could go with my dad to the airport, walk right up to the plane door without going through a lick of security, and hug him goodbye/hang out til he boarded, etc. I've always hated being punished or inconvenienced for other's ill behavior though, so I am probably more than a bit touchy about it. And nostalgic.
You are so right twice, it truly is interesting times that we live in.
At least the lens looker at'ers remain the same 😁
I live downtown, and the stuff I see would make you raise an eyebrow or two. It's wild being in the social frontier. Hopefully the problems can be concentrated and not expanded, but looking at the way Seattle and Portland have gone, I'm not so sure how long we can hold out. There is plenty of good here, so we still have chance so long as we do the right thing and properly manage our city. Rant over :)
I do wonder how many times I've looked at someone's camera as they took a shot. hah. Next time, I'll look over my shoulder and go full duck-face.
