As a consequence, pedestrian deaths are going to skyrocket.

Maybe the kid on his loud four-wheeler can overcome his fear of riding in traffic.

Fear, both justified and not.

I’ll keep my fear, thanks. I’d rather remain a human being with choices and consequences, a moral or an immoral person.

I didn’t read the article. I just wanted to point out that there’s probably a great Chuck Norris joke in here somewhere.

Puts a whole new meaning on the NO FEAR decals rednecks love to wear.

adults who suffer each year from persistent, debilitating fears - including hundreds of soldiers returning from conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan

One stands in awe of such impartial reportage.

From what the returning soldiers I know have told me, their greatest fear upon returning to the US is the completely rational fear of being plagued by idiots wasting their time.

There's a whole pile of jokes in there but I read in the article that it might help combat veterans with PTSD so I decided to pass on the jokes and watch for further developments.

I will not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Unfortunately the side-effects of treatment include diffuse dread, apprehension, anxiety, doubt, panic, horror and terror.

I thought FDR was working on a cure for this during WWII?

One of the stories in this book: The Solaris Book of new Science Fiction.

A story by the title of: Third Person, by Tony Ballantyne.

Excellent speculation of a drug that turns normal people into absolutely fearless combatants, in a very non-Rambo way. I highly recommend it.
