IN WAR (In Chicago through the month of November)

The distance is great. The disconnect is great. The impact is deep.
IN WAR: Radical Vulnerability
In war, and the constant wake of war, does survival depend on rejecting and repressing one’s pains, emotions, and fears – one’s vulnerability? Or, does survival depend on radically embracing one’s vulnerability?

Excerpt:
Last week the mayor stood with Police Chief Garry McCarthy, and Forrest Claypool, the head of the Chicago Transit Authority, as they rightly praised rapid installation of another 1,700 C.T.A security cameras.
But now add several thousand more cameras planned near schools and parks — meant to catch speeders endangering children — and you’ve got a hefty increase in what was already the most “extensive and integrated” surveillance system in the United States, according to Michael Chertoff, the former homeland security secretary.
A February report by the American Civil Liberties Union estimated that Chicago had 10,000 surveillance cameras. Let’s now figure on another 4,000 or so.

Views
Ropeik's articles typically express the view that the risk reporting in the media is misplaced and/or overblown, saying in 2000, "There's a huge disconnect between what people are afraid of and what the data suggests are the real risks."[1]On Mad Cow Disease
In the piece ("Mad Cow and the Media," 31 Dec. 2003), Ropeik argues that recent reporting on the mad cow case in Washington state is overblown, with reporters emphasizing the scariest aspects of the story, which is causing the public to develop an irrational fear of mad cow disease. Such reporting, the author contends, "drives demands that the government spend time and money protecting us from risks that aren't as big as such coverage leads us to believe." In support of his argument, Ropeik cites a study by "our center at Harvard" showing that the chance of mad cow disease threatening human health is "extraordinarily low." [3]Clients
