FEAR, FEAR Be very afraid IRAQ/ TERRA and BIRD FLU...
That lying lunatic * and his evil regime still selling the TERRA (Are we safe yet? NOT). Did the color change? Are we at "Terra Cotta" yet? Earlier someone posted a thread about how they were so sick of this fear crap - I am with you. I am sick of it too. FEAR is not of God but it sure the hell is an integral part of this administration. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING TERRORIZED BY THIS GOVERNMENT.

1. It has become endemic to our society. It used to be sex sells
now it is sex and fear. But as usual they buy it.

3. I agree with you
but you know that these people have to have our country fearing something so they can go on with their dirty deeds and not be watched. They figure if we are watching our backs we will be too busy--we wont be watching their games.

4. Remember the Twilight Zone where the Martians knockout the
electricity in a block and all civility crumbles? Thats these guys, except they create the imagined terrors, then put themselves forth as the only protection. Will America stand up?

5. Fear is the Grease
these chimps are using to scare people into giving up their civil rights. It is outrageous to see how many people sign up to let the military take over the country or give up their right to be free of search and seizure in the name of fear. No one has worked the fear catalyst like the B*shCo creeps.

10. I think it is not working. I was at PT today and told everyone how
it was hyped. They all bought it (youngin's), McCarthy was brought down, this Admin. has wore out the FEAR issue!

They kept playing the same card, over and over again. It is like an old record that gets scratched. The kids, don't care, they won the battle, but lost the war. It will be another 40 years in the desert, without any real direction.

The problem is, they cried Wolf so many times, when it happens We could actually be remiss!

9. I was watching Paula Zahn last night...
I know, I'm sadistic. But anyway, ALL she talked about was the bird-flu and how unprepared we are for a pandemic. She had Sanjay Gupta on and he talked about how the world is long overdue for a pandemic that will kill millions. *sigh* I just wish I could understand why the media falls in line with * and friends.

11. You know if is gonna happen, what can anyone do about it.
When I was in college, in Reading, PA., I worked part time at Rockwell International in the Cad cam Dept. They told me, during WWII there was a Beryllium (sp?) co., located not to far away and was 11th on the strike list.

The guys told me there was an underground city, because of this. I was working there when the 3 Mile Island, stuff hit. They said to get your lawn chair and go out into the street and basically get fried, because that was better than what would happen. Holey crap! I was 21yrs. old, and they (the engineers were honestly telling me what they would do!).

14. Thats scary!
But exactly. If this bird flu thing, or any other disease, becomes a pandemic there isn't anything anyone will be able to do, except maybe try your best to stay away from other people.

16. Right!
They mentioned the Hong Kong Flu very breifly; for about 10 seconds. But you're right. They spent a lot more time on the 1918-1919 flu, and they said that killed 100,000,000 (perhaps they meant world-wide?).

18. FEAR stands for: False Evidence Appearing Real
Our gov't plays the Fear Card in order to maintain the illusion they are in control.

Well, it ain't workin' on my end. :eyes:

about this kind of thing.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
