About a month ago on a crowded BEST bus, there was the usual movement of people when a bus stop arrived, and a bag lay unclaimed in the aisle. Immediately three people began asking around for the owner of the bag, and there was a genuine air of panic for the 5-10 seconds it took for the owner sitting two seats away to yell out that it was his. However there is only so far you can expect the people to be vigilant, beyond a certain threshold it becomes equivalent to living in a state of fear, and it happens to be the government's duty to prevent such a state of affairs. @Sri:

(no matter how radical/revolutionary the stand sounds) else it will be the ridiculous cycle of every attack and 20-20 hindsight wisdom. voting for a particular party does not make a difference. its selecting between a bunch of evils.

With our busy lives, we have become so untethered and unconcerned to the limit of being extremely selfish and self centered. Once this improves, the society itself would become strong and would be able to aid the government in assuaging these threats and attacks.
