catscradle Feb. 14th, 2003 10:39 am)Happy Valentine's everyone =) Gollum says, we loves you all.
Now I need to make a general plea. Not really to anyone on my friend's list, just a general one so that I don't pull my hair out and start screaming at the computer screen. At least not at work. . .
STOP SENDING ME EMERGENCY EVACUATION DISASTER PLANS!
I've received about five in my mail box today. It's a fear mongering tactic that the government and media started to keep us all afraid and supporting the war. Those terrorist and Iraqis are out there waiting to harm us all! Well, thanks, except that we wouldn't have these fears and worries if we'd stop the irrational WAR MONGERING!
Forgiving all of that, what exactly are plastic bags and duct tape suppose to do? I'm reminded of the South Park "Volcano" episode with the duck & cover film on lava safety. Last I knew from my high school biology, chem and physics classes, plastic wasn't exactly a deterent for bio/chem or nuclear weapons. Radiation from a "dirty bomb" is not going to turn away defeated by plastic bags. Bio/Chem weapons are not going to be used against your suburban homes in bumfuck Iowa. Those weapons are not effective unless unleashed in a highly populated metro area.
I'm waiting for the call to sacrifice an unblemished lamb and paint the blood on my door post. They're practically already telling us to keep our sandles on our feet with staff in hand. . . =P
