What makes you think I am worrying and fretting? Quite the contrary, simple preparation eases the mind, without the doubts that come from living in a state of denial. The threat is real, but it isn't insurmountable, no matter what happens the vast majority will survive. Some of us just want to increase those odds.

Put another way, if what you claim is true, than the Bush Administration are liars, endangering the American public by giving bad advice a false sense of security. Sorry, but the administration has far more credibility than you do, especially since you offer no proof for your off-the-cuff assessment.

Consider the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper, then scan a bible for the story of Noah and the people who mocked him.

The threat is real, but the "solution" presented is sophomoric and a waste of effort. If you're seriously considering doing this, and you actually think it will help you, then indeed you are worrying and fretting.

I like Bush, I think he's doing a pretty good job as president. But he's a career politician, of COURSE he's a LIAR, at least sometimes. The difference between a good politician and a bad politician is when they lie and why. This is an OK lie, doesn't really hurt anybody, and it gives people something to do.

This is no "off the cuff" assesment, this is looking at REALITY. You ever have to dust your house? Maybe need to vent it out after pollen season? Get a big layer of soot on everything if there's been a fire near by? That's how chemical and biological weapons will work, they're gonna get in your house and stay until you clean them out, of course when you clean them out you'll expose yourself to them and the safe room will have proven completely pointless. As for radiation, if some plastic over the window will stop it then why are x-ray rooms surrounded by lead?

You claiming you got these directions from God? Didn't think so. So much for your Noah claim. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, go show somebody how much you love them, much better use of your time.
