some people are afraid of dogs and some of water. some can't fathom their fear and call it an irreducible phobia. everyone in their right mind is afraid of the government. that shit, unthinkable as it is, we know down to our toes, that stupid shit is real. but since we are doomed to the government of the people, and the people with sense are marginalized, and in a deathlike pallor of fear and madness, we become resigned as to a global phobia. can't do shit about this shit, don't matter who's in that oval room, they are the fearsome head of the killer elite. 
but after reading dead zone-where the wild things were, i'm mostly afraid of carnivorous people and sick meat. nuclear war is background noise.
