I do agree, though, noticing what has changed is often just as or more important than noticing a new potential threat. Noticing that something is out of whack might let you avoid trouble entirely, rather than just being best able to deal with it once you're already in the middle of it."

"I'm not paranoid, but living in Queens, NY all of my life I grew up watching my back whenever on the street. I do like to sit in the back of everywhere, mainly because I like to see how others are acting in case there is a free show of craziness. "
