Disgusting DHS
I’ve been marveling over the past few days at the really awesome radio advertisements on my favorite AM station, KPOJ. They had aired different spots about how to teach your children to deal with anger by dealing with it appropriately yourself, and how to just interact with your kids. Their mantra is, “You don’t have to be perfect, to be a perfect parent.” I love it.
Well today they aired a different one: “Terrorism forces us to make a choice. Don’t be afraid… Be Ready.” Yes. That’s right. We should all be prepared every day because we might be attacked by a terrorist. Did you know that more people died of the flu in 2001 than in all the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil that year? Including the World Trade Center?!?! But no. We should still walk in fear of a terrorist attack. See it for it what it is. Please. Forgive my broken thoughts here but I’m completely incensed at the audacity of the Department of Homeland Security. A child’s voice comes on the air and says, “Should I stay where I am and wait for you? Or go to Gramma’s house?” Sure kid. Just make sure to look both ways and don’t take candy from strangers because you’re more likely to get killed crossing the street or kidnapped. C’mon guys! How about you fix those damn levies first, eh? Sure would hate to see Willy Wonka 2: The Underwater Chocolate City. Sequels always suck.
