"The first thing I would do is talk to Americans like they are adults instead of talking down to them like they are a bunch of helpless children. Tell it like it is. We can handle it."

Unfortunately for us, many Americans (read: Liberals) think on the level of adolescents. This precludes a possibility of addressing our nation as "adults".

True, but most of the Libs live in the big cities. So, when the cities get nuked, bye-bye Libs. If I were in charge and trying to decide how best to inform the public of potential future disasters I wouldn't put much consideration on people who are going to be dead. The rest of us gun totin', biscuit lovin' country folks who intend to survive the calamity would appreciate some straight talk for a change. I remember doing "duck and cover" drills in elementary school. We did tornado and drills all the time, too. I don't recall any widespread panicking. I wonder what they think has changed? Must be worried about all that dumbing down they did courtesy of the publik skool systum......
