change of subject..sorta...question fer those on this side of the pond

[Guest guest]

so..

all you united statsian folks on here

weird question

remember not so long ago

when their seemed to be a terror alert, of, every 15 minutes?

when ashcrofts color coded alert symbols blurbedled off the news in mutlicolored

horror shows...

red alert! yellow!! fuschia!

when there seemed to be anew plot revealed almost everyday

when sales of gas masks and duct tape went thru the roof...

right up until..

the election of 2004

remember...al queda was going to disrupt the elections...

 

and then

 

poof

nuthin

 

sooo

wot happened?

there has been nary a peep since

 

how about those who got addicted to the daily warnings? the color coded flashing

lights..the tag lines scrolling beneath newscasts... " warning, terrorist plot to

blow up every american toilet uncovered "

 

did we win?

did the terrorists go away?

 

er were they no longer needed?

 

 

 

 

 

what is peace

to the people

who work the land

and die in wars?

it was learned in a game

that was played by us all

who held the top of the hill

from the rest was called the king

and I can't believe it all

was good for humankind

People turned it all into a joke and I think the one thing bush loathes more than anything else is when he or his cronies are laughed at. They really need to get laid.

I do vaguely recall terror alerts. You have a good point.

 

I guess I did not notice that they had stopped, but honestly, I never

paid attention to terror alerts. I figure it will either happen -- or

it won't. I am probably just being stubborn but I believe that if I

worry about terrorism, change my life to accomodate it (or the

Consitution), then the terrorist wins.
