Re: Awareness = Paranoia?

Maybe the better path, as Mark mentioned, is not one that you can follow living where you are.
I coped with it by moving (far, far) away from a city that made me feel alot like you described.

And before everyone jumps on my post with alot of "Your giving in." and "That's not using Aikido."-type posts, consider this; how long will it take before you admit there is no coping with it? 6 months? 6 years?
And more importantly, how much are you willing to risk in the meantime? Your sanity? Your life?

Obviously these are very personal questions and answers, and everyone here will have a different response. As Jordan said, go with your gut.

My gut told me to leave and never look back.
