I feel the same way about these that I feel about the "massive government conspiracy" that would take place amongst ham radio operators in the event of a major disaster in my vicinity 3 years ago - or 3 months ago.Well, call me ignorant, but I'll be darned if I can glean an answer to my question from that response. I know very well that you know how you feel about it, but short of reading your mind, I don't know how you feel about it, hence my question. And no, I'm not talking about "government conspiracy/ham radio operators/your vicinity." The subject is shadow government.
That's where you're wrong - it's not about a mainstream media hype about a "shadow government" - it's about an emergency plan that exists at the federal level to restore order and constitutional government structures in the event of a catastrophic event. Now if you are saying you don't believe that such plans should exist - then I presume you have the same problem with such plans that exist in your state, hometown, local hospital, or schools.
I love ya', Hoosier - I just don't see prudent planning as a threat.
