You are correct about the escaping citizens being a problem, it will be much worse than facing an invading army.

For me it will be all those liberals from California who say that the terrorists are a ruse to get Bush re-elected.

At times I can get Dr. Bill Wattenberg on KGO radio, a verrry liberal station out of San Francisco, he is not a liberal and offers good info.

On the question of trying to get out of town, he tried to explain to the callers that first you had to have a place to escape too........

And that you should not start the trip, unless you were willing to go all the way to protect your family.

He had a devil of a time explaining that he was saying have a gun and USE it.

Wasn't it about the first time that the color was raised, that Ridge said to buy duct tape and plastic sheeting?

Do a search for info on Israel, I have read in depth reports on their "safe rooms", in the center of the house or away from windows, sealed tight to keep out what is in the air.

I got the impression that most Israel homes have one.

Be safe and happy,

Ok, plastic and duct tape is a great idea. But what do you do for clean oxygen? Say you make your basement a safe room and plastic up the windows.

What do you do for clean circulating air? How long is a family good for in the basement like this?

If it was just a matter of hunkering down at home and rationing food and water for a few weeks it would be a piece of cake.

It's the hordes of illegals and gangbangers from Providence that will be the big worry. After a night in the woods in the freezing cold, they'll do anything to anybody to eat and get warm. Would be like a Mad Max movie.
