Notable stories/events that have been constantly attacked/used for Government/Media fear:
-Terrorism
-Communism (see McCarthyism/ Red Scare)
-AIDS
-Drugs
- 9/11
-The "Brain Eating Amoeba"

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on, baby (Don’t Fear the Reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid
Come on, baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness

Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)

The cycle of a society fearing and producing difficult economic conditions. This fear of future economic turmoil is due to current poor conditions. Thus the society stops functioning normally due to the fear and consequentially generates more fear and worse conditions.

when you are above fear nothin can phaze you. No normal person can be above fear. the only people that can be above fear is a person who has made it out of the ghetto and past the age of 21.
"Man you hear, Lil D stared down the barrel of the gun and didnt even move or flinch, he jus had his g face still one"
"Man dat nigga above fear. The Hood'll do dat 2 ya"

The fear that what you are searching will show no results in the suggestion bar. Typing slowly, and often checking the Google suggestion bar is a symptom.
