WEATHER ALERT?
A rather STRONG rumor emerged today from a private source deep inside Rhode Island's emergency management bureaucracy: Meteorologists are watching a pair of storm systems that may coalesce and hit the area later this week or the weekend as the second MAJOR snow event within seven days.
Here's the disquieting part: An unofficial embargo has been placed on this activity. In other words, the media is being told by government to shut up -- to keep vital information from the public.
And the lapdog press -- big surprise -- is doing as ordered.
Feel safer now?

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
