Seeing Orange
So the "president select" has opted to move the nation into a high state of alert because of the 9-11 anniversary. Last night I awoke to the deafening sound of an aircraft. It was most likely an airforce craft overseeing the area, but I couldn't help but lie still as a statue and follow the noise until I could be sure it didn't crash into anything. Turns out that NYC has been in the high alert orange since the attacks. That makes me feel better. New Yorkers shouldn't be any more stressed out about this development because we have been this stressed out since 9-11. High-Level orange. The sad thing is, my distrust for this administration who clouds their decisions in secrets and half-truths runs so deep, I wonder how much of this is just another ploy to make that slacker seem presidential or to make a case for him to clean up the mess his daddy made in the Middle East. 'Hey Folks, we are going to get the Evul Dewars and so we are at Level Orange, now watch this drive'. Don't you think this guy should clean up the mess left by those Al Queda bastards and finish what we've started in Afghanistan before we start picking on other nations?
I suppose I should be happy the government is taking such strong precautions. From a statistical "art of war" point of view, if I were on the other side of this conflict, I would look at this anniversary as a prime opportunity. I just wish I had even a little bit of faith in this administration which seems to rewrite history, lie and secret away the truth.
