comment to Tom

I was thinking about my fears of "city-stuff" compared to the discussion of fears of wild-stuff, too. The mechanisms ara probably the same - the 3 ways we develop the fears. In my case, I think my fears of city environments and some city wildlife (people, rats, bedbugs) is probably as much of a loss as people's fear of wild. It's too bad. There is so much I/we can miss looking through the fear filters.
