The first sentence of this article is strange.

 

"Security is both a feeling and a reality. And they're not the same."

 

Do people really need to be told that their feelings don't constitute reality? Absurd.

[joblo7]

feeling secure is as good as being secure.

 

being secure is rarer then feeling secure. vote for me. i will MAKE YOU secure.

[Dechristo]

bondage, eh?

[tvashtarkatena]

I can't wait to get blown up so I don't have to worry about feeling insecure about my security any more.

[joblo7]

the trick is to feel secure before, during and after you get blown up. oh yeah and also BECAUSE you will not get blown up .

[joblo7]
