Reply #44: Nope. Not the same thing I'm saying at all..

September 11 had more warnings and intelligence-the amount of which is constantly being brought to light...and if they had more knowledge and didn't share, then Chucklenuts is guilty of endangering Americans...same as now..if they have more info and don't share, they are guilty of endangering Americans. That's what I was saying...fear isn't a good motivational factor, as constant fear tends to shut people down..education, however, is.

The boy blunder withheld needed info...and then went on to give vague warnings for the next 2 years...and it boggles the mind that people don't see the fear-mongering in what these thugs do. Thats what I was speaking of...the constant nothing warnings.

Avoid crowds.
Summer terror attack.

Those 2 things mean nothing...absolutely nothing. Anyone with a brain stem knows the "possibility" of an attack exist...the only thing that changes is the probability. Said probability being directly influenced by external events and internal events. We already know terrorists exist within America's borders...telling us that is nothing new.

Sure people should be on guard for certain things..the exact same things they should have ALWAYS been on guard for...



If they were simply telling people to be on guard, then maybe it could be compared to the wearing of a seatbelt...however, the two aren't the same at all. Wearing a seat belt is good advice. Being on guard is good advice. Constantly using the fear factor is counter-productive to achieving the goal of keeping people prepared...

The only thing that changed after September 11th was the way the government used the tragedy to further their other goals and aims...
How Americans should live their lives did not change..as they should have always been on guard to dangers within their environment...to include nutcases bent on blowing things up.

I'll not give anyone a pass who walked around with their heads up their asses thinking America was beyond reach for an attack. Anyone paying attention to world events knew it was possible...and highly probable...to include the government as well as the population.

Our government failed to protect us when they could have...they failed on numerous levels. They continue to fail us by spawning fear...people can only do so much...the government must meet it's responsibilities as well.

No one..but no one..is suggesting people should not take precatuions..but they should have ALWAYS taken those precautions. Even more so when we have a government that doesn't give a good god damn if we live or die.

Oh and BTW, CNN just annouced they were going to put names to those "5" terrorists later in the broadcast (seems people were complaining about the "vagueness" of the warning)...making it rather obvious they knew more than just "there are 5 terrorists"...which was my whole point. If they knew of exactly 5...they knew more about those 5 than the very vague "there are 5 ...." Now maybe we can get pictures posted and everyone can be on the look-out for a face, instead of a bunch of peckerwoods looking out for "brown people"...which in this high-strung and racist country, is a very real and very scary concern for many.

Oh wait, my bad...it's 7 photos they are going to RE-release...making those "5", people they have been looking for for a while now.
