QUOTE(cornflakes @ Oct 18 2004, 1:03 AM) Well... shouldn't we always respond to protect American citizens? It is there job. You're also talking about school bombing threats...not a major scale TERRORIST attack. Uh, yea, if you were to read into CONTEXT, you would've understand the analogy, but I'll explain. Ever heard of the story "The Boy who Cried Wolf"? Well, what I was getting at was something similar. I agree that threats should be taken seriously, but how seriously? As in, Americans are already griping about losing their privacy and freedom to certain laws/policies after 9/11, what makes you think that the American people as a whole will agree to losing more freedom and privacy for the sake of their safety? Me? I don't have much of a problem with it so long as it doesn't interfere much with my life. But since I'm only a college student, I don't have much of a life quite yet. Imagine business travelers who venture around the world having a problem with such policies. Not to say that they're (businesses) more important than the rest of us, but they do have more market power and more power as constituents than the average Joe. Anyway, back to my point with "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". My school wasn't as responsive to the latter bomb threats as it was to the first and other schools acted the same way. In the story, the boy lied and lied to have his fun but not realizing that one day he will actually needs help. Similarly, one day, a bomb threat will be a serious one, but because there were so many hoax, what do you expect the schools to do? Operate EVERYDAY as if they were going to be bombed? By the by, schools IS ONLY a smaller, BUT VERY ACCURATE, similation of our nation. Meaning, in my analogy, the smaller picture very well describes the bigger picture. The lives of the school children are just as important as the lives of the American people as a whole. Do you disagree with me? So, sorry for the long explanation. I feel that it wasn't needed, but since you asked... |
