Hawaii False Alarm

[Zundfolge]

The truth is, the things that our own government will do to us if we ever get a nuke slung at us by the Norks are going to be significantly worse than the nuke itself (well for everyone except those at ground zero).

It will be the suspension of our constitutional rights, civil liberties and property rights for some time to come. The ensuing martial law could trigger a collapse of the civil society and possible war (as divided as we are now, I don't expect well see a 9/11 style of coming together).

Although to be fair, watching how the Hawaiians reacted to what they believed for more than half an hour was incoming mass death gives me hope. Send that same text message out to the general Los Angeles area and I bet you have riots, looting and unrest for a week.
