Good to know I was not alone in my FRless day and night. You never know if it is just because you aren't in good standing with the in-crowd ***smiles*** Road closed, road structures burning, buildings burning back east, whatever is going on, we'll hear about it first here. We know for sure the network news will "satinize" it for the skew they want the listeners to buy.

Our enemies must know that the media will downplay any instances of destruction. None will dare call it "terrorism" unless it becomes obvious.
While I personally view today's events as markedly alarming, others may question why our ememies would use such unspectacular and low-intensity tactics.
The old strategy of "death from a thousand cuts" may be operational in at least some of today's reported destructive events. In such a case, staying under the national news media "radar" could serve to prolong the duration of the operation. Thus, the "cave of darkness" could connote an atypical lack of media attention.

Funny, I've been down for two days and needed this group so bad took a ride to sis's ;) I am so stoopid when it comes to my laptop and my son has not found a driver for it. So I'm ready to go buy an external just to plug in at home and then I still don't know what to do ;(
