That guy and Margaret Atwood ought to get together and give birth to a little black hole of despair. Give me Desperate Housewives.

Is it just me, or is their a fine line between fear mongering and despair mongering?

I don't know. I suppose despair could be the oppostie of fear in the sense of no longer feeling any concern about danger.

"Opposite," although "oppostie" should be a word.
