Tom Ridge wants you to be scared and keep your fridge stocked.
These terror adds are killing me. In desguise as a public saftey message, but most of the commercial is spent just pushing the threat and pushing the war on terror. Then they have a few tips, have a flashlight and water, and the stuff you usually use.

Thanks guys. That ad time could have gone towards the things people should do in case of blackouts, or emergencies, instead its just used as propaganda with a tiny bit of duh info at the end.

6. Yes, go shopping, and buy an SUV.
If you don't have an SUV to haul all of your goods home in, the Terrorists STILL win.

7. Every day Ñ every damn day in this country ...
... there is some kind of emergency Ñ whether it is:

Wildfires
Tornadoes
Floods
Hurricanes
Train wrecks
Auto crashes
Oil refinery fires
Blackouts

... and the strange thing is Ñ everyone handles these emergencies quite well, without panic, or running about thinking the sky is falling.

Even on 9/11, there was shock and horror, but most people rose to the occasion with dignity.

So Tom Ñ spare me the scare tactics.

9. That is the only thing that sounds right. Keep food in your house.
Having some food around so you do not have to go to day to buy is smart. Time we got some young people in the govt. and redid our Military. A great land army is dead. No one is going to fight like that anymore. Building forts and pulling up the bridge does not work either. We need some new and young thinkers doing this. You would think this country would know that. We fought the Brits mostly on our terms and beat the greatest army in the world. Terrorist are sure not going to go against a fighter plane Look what happened in Vietnam. We had all the power and they had the country they knew, the people, and who won?$000 bombs did not get them either.
