The damage that happened was due to misuse of fear. You wouldn't blame a surgeon for cutting up people to heal them, would you?


You say you want to use fear to influence the society of which you are a part, because you think that it's general attitude towards security impinges too much upon your own personal freedom and you also don't trust anyone else to be able to deal with honesty. And so you are actually attacking others who are trying to be honest, for not just ramping up the fear in the direction that you perceive would most satisfy your own self interest.

Remind me where the surgeon metaphor fits into all of this horseshit.
