Macro and Micro

So.
just as i was thinking/hoping/praying that our murderers had more in common with the murderers involved in the US Columbine high school shooting, it seems that there is a worls wide conspiracy burgeoning in the extremist camps in Pakistand and Afghanistan to kill Britains as punishment for their government's foreign policy choices.

Should France expect these same types of terrorists to kill Parisians based on the goverment's decision to uphold a ban on headscarves worn in state schools by Muslim women?

Perhaps Norway should expect some incidents because they let women vote.
Obviously i go down the slippery slope to make a point through hyperbole. But the repurcussions are overwhelming.

I feel that there are now two lives to live. the Macro and Micro. The life where we read the multiple, and taken together confusing, articles on terrorism today and how and why the arrows are pointed at us, and our work/family/social life - weddings to go to, projects to turn in, friends to meet for drinks, dates to go on, and holidays to take.
