Fear is the foundation of most governments.

People are afraid of everything.

Governments sometimes turn paranoid. And they fear things. And sometimes the thing they fear the most is the populace.

The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.

Individual people shouldn't be fearful, because by and large our government, the federal government - people always talk; obviously, they don't trust the feds, whatever. The federal government and local communities have done a pretty good job at keeping us safe.

People are just afraid of things too much. Afraid of things that don't necessarily merit fear.

People are afraid of things they don't understand. They don't know how to relate. It threatens their security, their existence, their career, image.

Those who own much have much to fear.

I'm afraid of people, in a way.

We are a nation of people who are afraid we are not enough.
