I'm of the wildebeast philosophy.

We're all part of a large herd of wildebeasts, see? And a bloodthirsty hyena is going to come along and grab one of us. But the others will all get away. So I figure, my odds are pretty good. What, me worry?

I figured, it's a lot more probable for me to die from a traffic accident. Just compare the number of people in the US died from terrorist attacks and those in car accidents last year, or even the year before.

I've already met my Zone Warden(nice old gentleman) from the Canadian Embassy, he mailed everyone their evac plans in case of war, the silly 1950s 'In Case of Nuclear Attack' pamphlet (stay away from windows, in the centre of the room, remember that KNR subways are also bomb shelters, remember to Bend Over, Place your Head Firmly between your legs, and ......)

But I just thank goodness that Bush will be distracted vassalizing Iraq long enough* before he decides to call out Kim at the OK corral.

EDIT: 'long enough' so that I can finish my contract and return to Canada, the Land of Donuts and Honey, before war potentially breaks out.

BTW, something funny: I actually met a Palestinian in the unheng in Si Heung. He was pretending to be Canadian from Montreal, but he didn't know **** about Canada (he'd been there a month), but he had an English degree from some mid-east place. He 'fessed up and we managed to losen him up and suitably corrupt him out of his 'Everyone Hates Palestinians' funk. He did kinda cause a seen when Warren revealed he's a Jew though, but by then we were all so liquored up (so much for Allah, but maybe it doesn't apply to fermented rice drinks like soju?) that nobody cared after a while.

The worlds problem is that it just got to the bar and needs to do some SERIOUS catching up.

also BTW, for the first time at Hennessy Bar we managed to out drink the bartenders. We just put some money on her head and walked out at 6:00AM, the only concsious beings in the joint. And Wade STILL wanted to go on.

Bush isn't trying to spread panic either in Iraq or the USA or any other nation affected. He simply is unaware of what he is doing. Watched too many John Wayne westerns growing up I guess.

Sigh

Sorry about all this mess.
If only they could count in Florida . . .

Green.

The Australian government spent 19 million dollars sending out pamphlets to every home regarding terrorism, and now that I have my pamphlet, I am perfectly safe! It has a fridge-magnet.

I can't wait for the British government's advice pamphlet to come out: apparently, we're warned to "not watch too much television, as it may frighten you".

Correct, but the WTC attack was a single attack in a single place in a single moment. Here it's a constant stream of attacks, everywhere and always.

Besides, I was talking about duct tape and stuff. You have no reason to fear a situation in which you might need it.

Buying "duct tape and stuff" will help the hardware store, but that's about all.
