Americans constantly live in fear. Quite a weird phenomenon.

We fear someone's gonna break in our house, so we buy guns, Ammo and house alarms. Sleep with guns behind the door, under the bed, in the garage and bathroom

We fear we're gonna get mugged or be the next knockout game victim, so we get concealed weapon licenses and carry sub-compacts and switchblades

We fear we're gonna die, so we take dozens of prescription meds and put in tornado shelters.

We fear anything different, like the Croods.

Sadly, most everything g Americans do is out of fear. Doomsday preppers whole life is based on the fear of dying. It's quite a sad state.
