Out in deep cyberspace, It’s difficult to know who all the players are and what team they’re playing on.  Sometimes it’s the enemy sporting the jersey of members of the home team.
People, it would seem, will do most anything to drive their point across.  If they knock your wind out sliding into home plate, “Tough luck, buddy.”
Alarmists lighting their fuses along the railway line can be as treacherous as the seated government.
Added to the latest fright front are warnings coming from websites made to look like FEMA-sponsored ones, going into great detail purportedly to prepare people to take cover from a coming calamity:  The Big One Worldwide Internet style.


When we live in a world where the Island of Japan has been all but wiped out by an earthquake/tsunami that puts people in jeopardy from the leaked radiation of a nuclear meltdown, the cruelty of deliberately putting people in fear comes from evil intent.
People would reasonably live in fear of natural catastrophes when 45 (and still counting) people were killed in some 260 tornadoes in areas of the south that last saw tornadoes more than 20 years ago.
