Alas, Babylon revisited

The first post was here.  It does appear to be too pessimistic, as nothing happened.  But that doesn't mean that something could happen.  The thing that is indeed happening is a boil-a-frog scenario.

I don't think people can get their minds around the fact that we are in a vulnerable position.  It was brought home to me literally when Hurricane Rita threatened to come into town in 2005.  The city's freeways were backed up so badly, I think it made the news across the nation.  Store shelves were bare.  Yet the storm was days away.  People went nuts.  Just think what would happen in a real emergency.  Houston would be a death trap.  As any large city.

People in this country have no clue.
