[ music | The Afghan Whigs – “When We Two Parted” ]
I had thought about it… but not really I guess. Not since I was a kid and we were in the middle of the cold war, and when “The Day After” seemed like a likely event. It’s kinda weird when you hear about the possibility of being vaporized. I don’t know… I just feel weird having heard it today. In case you missed it – Time released an article detailing a threat that was considered very credible at the time, that terrorists were planning on detonating a 10 kiloton nuclear device in Manhattan this past October. The big controversy was that no one in the local, or state government was told about the threat. Now I totally agree that the public shouldn’t have been informed… I’m all about reducing mass panic… but it does seem weird that if the threat was that credible, that no one in the local administration was informed of the fed’s concerns. I dunno.
