I RELATE TO THIS STRONGLY.

I would like to see an end to what I perceive as a mantra: the charge of "fear-mongering."

I'm sick to death of it.

Fear-mongering is used by people who are trying to get their way by fooling people with lies and obfuscation.

Fear is a healthy acknowledgment of evident danger which needs intelligent, responsible, action. This can't happen if people are stifled in public discourse by the indiscriminate label of "fear-mongering."
