Clashing Color Codes Controversy

Gn2Dlnd · 05-11-2005, 10:58 AM

With all due respect, I'm certainly not a sheep. But when the government decides to raise the threat level, it gives me pause. The news covers it like the second coming, and security guards start asking to look inside my coat. I know that it's bullsh*t, but it's hard to avoid being affected and made to feel a little more anxious.

I'd like to know how New Yorkers feel about this information. Colorado is a long way away from Ground Zero.

So somehow I am immune being here? Funny, I wish that bubble around CO actually kept bad people out.

Why is it, with people who seem to inately distrust the gov't, still seem to think it matters when they play with the color code?

How many elevated color coded, let's-all-run-around-pissing-our-pants, terror threats has there been since the election?

Surprisingly, none that I can recall. Of course, with our fearless leader, none would dare threaten us now....

I never have taken those stupid things seriously. Coming from an entity named "Department of Homeland Security" makes it difficult to do so.

True that.

I'd hate to be a homosexual terrorist in a low-income tax bracket with Shrub the Badass as president.

Not caring about the color coding does not mean I do not care or worry about threats here in CO. Nor does it make me deaf and dumb to threats around the country.
