Yeah thanks.. but until you've laid on your children to protect them from bullets in an American airport like I did in January, I don't expect you to share my perspective.You might as well stay in your basement and barricade the door. United States doesn't have a monopoly on crazy people randomly killing innocent people. Some folks in Edmonton going to a football game sure were not planning on being run down by a U-Haul van in the name of a religion. Going to a concert here or in Europe being blown up or shot at. If your time has come, your time has come, there is no way to prevent being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Again, I said very clearly that I believe in rationally evaluating the situation. And given what we experienced and my children are still healing from, I am choosing very rationally to not continue to to travel to the U.S at this time. I took them back to the U.S after it happened, and took them to the same airport they experienced the event in. We sat on the very benches that we threw them under while people screamed and stampeded all around them. I showed them it was safe now so they could begin to heal. We take acceptable risks. I'm not comfortable with the current climate int States and we're taking a break.
If you'd care to read about the situation I am referring to, and the complete systemic breakdown that occurred that day you *might* begin to understand my perspective. However your suggestion that my carefully considered and rationale plan for MY family is akin to begin a shut in, is dismissive, and completely wrong.
