The Journey is Just Beginning Every November My dad and I make a journey up to Nebraska for our annual deer hunting trip. Every year the same memories are pulled out and a remembrance of the year before comes rushing out. The trip always starts in the morning.

The cold engine on the car starting up and smoke storming out of the exhaust, and the feeling of a hot coffee in your hands to start the day. My dad looks…

So maybe political that causes/starts fear - importance and focusing the risks of terrorism, and so on - can have a difficult to notice/skillful but powerful effect on some groups of people when it is used to try and sway votes.
