Yes, keeping the economy going *is* important. But more important than that is the government being level with the people it serves. If there are terrorists attacks coming, and they know about them, let us know in as much detail as possible and not just vague general warnings. If there is a strange incident like today, don't immediatly go into the "not terrorist" mode 2 hours after the fact, like they did with the anthrax breakout a month ago, only to be proven to be fools.
I and others here are adults and as such, expect our employees to treat us as such. Anything else is insulting and presumptuous on their part.
I am fed up and I can't take it anymore. But, will read past your post before screaming into the computer again at the mess we are facing...
