Proof Positive - all governments are lying

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Fact One: If there are 50 state governments, one of them must be most prepared and one least prepared. They all can't be equally prepared.

Fact two: 25 states are lagging in the second tier of preparations.

Fact three: Not one state has admitted being in the second tier, including woefully underprepared Alabama. Since that condition (nobody is in the second tier) does not exist in reality, somebody is bullshittin' somebody else in a major way.

Granted, the rules of engagement are not that clearly defined for measuing compliance across large groups of organizations. This isn't like the NFL where you know for sure who's in first place and who's in last place. But also true, common freaking sense tells you Italy is toast, Russia is toast, China is toast, and yet not a one of them will admit even being a step behind obviously better prepared countries. It only takes common sense to figure out somebody is lying on a massive scale. It's like watching a really good NFL team demolish somebody, and then watching a really bad team get demolished. After you compare the two you have a good, instinctive feeling of which one is obviously toast. You might say to yourself, "I know the really bad team thinks they have a shot at the trophy, but guess what? It's all in their minds and they are either unfathomably stoopid or lying. Pick one. Either way, they are toast and those that bet on them are toast."

Excuse me guys,but everybody seems to forget at least two of these major players have already mentioned sabatage, and I don't want those nsa fbi people to get all excited but Isiah 47 says that it will come from mistchif and nobody knows from were. So it seems to me that that pretty much levels the playing field. By the way a word to you spooks out there, that is my real last name and I am not afiliated with any of those extremist out there.

Just remember, people won't panic over nothing.

You have already seen proof of this.

Panic will take on the proportion of a huge hurricane thatknocks out what they care about over a 72 hour period. That which takes out indescriminate businesses...the lifeblood of your community.

Just a point of curiosity on my part.

Did anyone rellly open this thread because they needed *proof* that governments lie?
