Plus, if there are snipers all over the country, I intend to be a target as few times as possible. Call me crazy, but I want to see my daughter's wedding.
You will note I also said FIREARMS. I do not intend to go down without a fight. However, if smallpox hits I am not going to be waltzing to the supermarket!
You macho guys are too quick to assume that the rest of us are cowering in the corner. Please! I lived through the Cold War, the riots of the 60's, and Jimmy Carter's horrible presidency! I am fairly tough and am not giving in.
HOWEVER, a good strategist plans for ALL contingencies.
You may consider your apology accepted.
Yes, well us young machos lived through Clinton's presidency, so take that back lol
HOWEVER, a good strategist plans for ALL contingencies.
Absolutely. You go, girl!
Here, many stores and malls have the kids come inside where they supply treats and entertainment. Perhaps this would be a good alternative for the DC area is there if concern about Halloween.
LOL! Yes, the man who appeared on television wearing a sweater to tell us we just had to bear it, all was lost, the thermostat could never be set over 68 again, etc.,etc. Talk about depressing! The left loves to be depressed!
But I think you're right, being prepared doesn't hurt, either. And that's not the same as cowering, it's just being realistic.
However, I should add that I don't really think there's anything worse in the works right now - well, worse than the chance of being picked off while you're sitting on the bus, which is horrible enough. But there probably will be, sooner or later.
Suddenly you're speaking of QUARANTINE for Small Pox. Funny, I didn't see it mentioned before. (I've still got a grip. Thanks for your kind concern, however.)

Having the sense not to advertise yourself as a target and being confined to your home are two different things.

This is not an exercise is false machismo as demonstrated by many of the keyboard cowboys around here. However, as truly terrifying as the Carter presidency was, it doesn't qualify as preparation for facing terrorists on our own soil. I simply do not wish to see Americans so readily accepting of being confined to their homes. Glad you're planning for all contingencies though.
What the heck, I accept your apology too.
