I got my booklet today, my twenty page "Preparing for Emergercies" (What you need to know) booklet, I read it and my gosh what a waste of resources that was! A booklet in stating the plainly obvious, whoop de doo
If there is a fire, call 999
If a bomb goes off outside your building stay inside (away from windows)
If people are seriously injured, call 999 immediately
and remember folks... Go in, Stay in, Tune in

Duck & Cover! ;)
Kinda unrelated...
Here's an email I got today;
President Bush, Reagan was Right
Contributed by Working Assets
In the latest reversal of a long standing U.S. position, the Bush administration last week announced that it will only support a nuclear nonproliferation treaty if provisions for inspection and verification are removed. Even former President Reagan, in promoting a similar treaty with the Soviet Union, promised conservative opponents (who favored increased nuclear weapons) that his position was "trust but verify." In an era when an increasing number of countries appear to be developing nuclear weapons, including Iran and North Korea, this reversal of policy is both bizarre and dangerous.
The official U.S. position is that any effective inspection and verification system is both expensive and very intrusive. This raises the possibility that the real reason for the opposition is that the Bush administration fears the consequences of having our own nuclear weapons development be subject to inspection. The U.S. is itself at the early stages of researching and developing a new era of nuclear weapons.
Before the recent war on Iraq, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice stated, "We don't want the 'smoking gun' to be a mushroom cloud." Shouldn't we then support using verification and inspections to investigate 'smoking guns' to ensure this doesn't happen? We now know that the U.N. weapons inspection program aimed at Iraq actually succeeded in dismantling stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons and preventing the development of weapons of mass destruction.
Having invaded Iraq in literal defiance of the conclusions of nuclear weapons inspectors, it appears that the U.S. wants to go to the next step and eliminate such inspections.

I'm still not sure why the United States is allowed to have all the weapons of mass destruction we can eat, while other countries aren't allowed to have any.

Because the US is always right, and everyone else is often wrong?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of "Bushisms" on Thursday, declaring that his administration will "never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people."
Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said.
"They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.
All those hippies singing "Blowing in the wind" had little effect
A little "blowing in the Oval Office" was far more effective to keep world peace
