catch22girl | It's all right, it's just the end of the world.

Warning, slight rant ahead - slightly political.

The color for the day was orange, yes, orange. That means tropicana in -- lemonade out. (aside, the only good thing about having PepsiCo across from my school is that we get tropicana and not minute maid).

It's so frightening when the fictional FBI makes much more sense than the real one. Why alert us to a threat if your only advice is "don't change any of your plans, go on about your business, let us worry." Well, I would love to let you guys worry if you would stop alerting me to the problem. The whole "if you do blank the terrorists win" argument isn't really cutting it right now. They can't say that they think the attack will be on targets like sports games and hotels and then say don't worry about travel or attending events. Do they realize that they are inspiring the very fear they are trying to diffuse? From the very responsible and not at all sketchy Homeland Security Agency comes a nice set of guidelines for preparing for an emergency (terrorist attack).

I really don't understand how they can tell us not to worry and then lay out a system that causes nothing but panic. In my slightly more XF-like paranoia moments it really does make me wonder what the heck is going on in our government.
