I have nothing to fear, other than the usuals
For my 47 years on this earth, I have rarely escaped fear of the following:

the need to make certain that I have food next week and next month

the need to make certain that my kid gets a good education

the need to maintain shelter for my family

the need to ensure my family obtains some enjoyment from life

I don't fear, and never have feared, being hit with a nuclear bomb

I don't fear, and never have feared, people of a different religion attacking me for my beliefs

I don't fear, and never have feared, bird flu or mad cow disease

Am I missing something?

1. Nope.
Sounds like they are all rational fears to me.

Peace.

2. I fear:
Mad cow, because we have no government.
Fundamentalist Christians, because they are trying to become the government.
