"Why is it crying wolf?"

"Everytime it has gone up, the public has been more vigilant, correct? And, no harm came. Why does this prove that we have let our guard down? I cannot imagine that 9/11 is a distant memory... code orange is still a big deal, I believe. Who thinks it is a laughing matter?"

The "public" doesn't know what to think anymore. Even the State of AZ has said that they may not respond to another alert level change. These codes mean nothing anymore.

Try to imagine the USA in WWII that had air-raid alerts every other day but no bombings ever occured. When someone tells you that there is danger, but also says "But please go out and have your nails done as usual.", then eventually these warnings will not be taken seriously.

This is exactly what is now happening. Therefore, it is probably time to stay home.

Who tells you this? The liberal media? Crying wolf, crying wolf... straight from the Democratic talking points? If you don't listen, stick your head in the sand, I have no sympathy for you. But, since this is the ONLY system that we have, imperfect though it is, I do pay attention.

You know what? I have always listened to the tornado watches in my area, too... all have been false alarms, because my house was never hit. Hmmm... I guess you are right. Warning systems are useless!

AZ said they aren't going to respond, because they essentially cannot or do not change anything on the ground, that affects the public.... OR they are just saying this, trying to say, "We can't AFFORD to respond!". What does it change? Nothing. Let AZ do whatever they want. I don't care, I don't live there.

There is a danger, every day, that something terrible is going to happen. Okay, fine. I will go about my life as ususal. However, I will never ignore it when I am given something specific to do, for my own safety.
