How Alert Are You?

[ThomWV]

I wonder what stage of alert we are at today. It might be yellow, or maybe I heard it went to orange last week? What does that mean? What do the colors stand for? Nobody sent me a little card in the mail telling me what the colors meant or what to do.

Of course we all know what the alert system means though. Its a system where the more intense the color the greater the possibility of attack againt our country. That's what everyone things it seems.

Well I don't think that's what the sysetem alerts us to at all. Here's what I think the colors mean with increasing intensity. I think the brighter the color the worse job Bu$h is doing. If its yellow he's doin' Ok but if its red he's really screwing up. Right now it seems to be hovering somewhere right around bright orange if you ask me.

1. I thought

the color coding was more mind control, not the government having a clue.

2. It became a joke so they will not tell us any more.

I do not know if I should be in fear or not, so please let me know.

3. I've never thought of it as a measure of how Bush is doing.

I'll pay closer attention to it now. I have suspected in the past that the code was raised at times to benefit him politically. Same thing in a different vein I guess.

5. Yep!

That's exactly what I mean. If you hear a report that the Alert Code has been raised to blood red it means that Bu$h is doing such a poor job that virtually every inch of American is defenseless and likely to be hit at any moment, every citizen is in danger. This would seem to me of a Commander in Chief and first Ambassador to the United States of America who had done the worst possible job.
