Douglas in CT...Yes, based on what you have told us I would have to say you are naive. But recognizing the problem takes one a long way toward correcting the situation. You said you do pay a lot of attention to idiots behind the wheel when you're operating your vehicle. Just apply the same principle to your surroundings when walking to/from your car at the local mall, 7-11 or wherever, and you'll be in Condition Yellow...best described as a state of relaxed watchfulness..not unlike a cat who remains focused on what is important, it's physical well-being...not taxes, your idiot boss, etc, but what is going on around you. It's really simple, and is most definitely NOT a state of perpetual paranoia...it's merely being aware of one's surroundings, the people who are around you, and what they are doing (especially if they're paying too much attention to you). Cooper and Ayoob have written some pretty good stuff on this...Good luck!
