I didn't specify what you were afraid of, I only reasoned fear is the only thing that would make you care .... and I was right.
Actually, according to research, fear is at the root of anger, not caring.
I don't think you have to fear something to think it's wrong. Of course, you could argue that there is a root fear, but that's based on a lot more things than the simple emotion brought about which is named fear. For example, I don't see a gun and immediately feel afraid. As has been pointed out, it's an inanimate object. However, when I see a gun in the hands of a loony, I feel fear, which is employed as my defense mechanism. I personally think there's a big distinction there.
What does everyone else think?
