And three times, the little boy cried "Wolf !"

And the sad part is that when there was a wolf, nobody believed him.

That seems to be what the majority of our country believes at this time. They cried wolf so many times with the color-coded alarms that finally, they became a joke. They cried "wolf!" again when they wanted to invade Iraq and take over the oil wells. Sometimes it seemed they cried "wolf!" just to watch the people jump. Now, it's not working anymore. We can only hope there is not a real wolf at the door.

1. I've been thinking that.

All the duct tape alerts and color codes have made us see that they use fear triggers to keep us in fear and line.

V pulled the curtain back on that trick pretty well.

2. No kidding. I hope everyone sees V for Vendetta.

If that doesn't open your eyes, nothin' will.

It really is like Propoganda 101 for the Mentally Challenged.
