When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Americans have a special horror of giving up control, of letting things happen in their own way without interference.
The way Americans understand and treat other peoples almost guarantees that the world will suffer more trouble.
Americans have discovered fear.
The American people fear there is some gouging going on.
Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.
I believe the American people have a genuine and justifiable fear of government intrusion in what they instinctively know is going to be an ever more intrusive world.
Americans' great and secret fear is that America may turn out to be a phenomenon rather than a civilization.
The mind of America is seized by a fatal dry rot - and it's only a question of time before all that the mind controls will run amuck in a frenzy of stupid, impotent fear.
Americans are nervous; Americans are restless; and what troubles me the most is that Americans are uncharacteristically pessimistic.
If I had to say something to Americans, being afraid and having fear, it's okay to be fearful because that will make you strong; being afraid will shut you down.
