Hear hear! I heartily agree, although I will be checking the facts on this one, it seems odd. The last one this bad was the same time of year, back in 1996. Maybe it's the heat? Was reading an interesting thing on GNN about a strategic vote for Dean in 2004...I dunno, it's not even my country!
>You have nothing to fear except fear itself (pay no attention to the man >behind the curtain) Are you quoting the fromthewilderness.com advert?? Did you see it go out? And if so, can you say anything about it's effect? Nothing like that would ever happen in Britain, it's more restrained. I think Mike Ruppert is a real dude.

F*ck Bush and his "Christian" Conservatism, Homeland (Fatherland) Security, Karl Rove, etc. What depresses me is that there are fewer and fewer journalists willing to give 'em a good fight because they're all too scared of getting their access to stories taken away from them. And then there's Christopher Hitchens ("The Long Short War" - what a f*cking turncoat). Bunch of privileged twats more concerned with their careers than with telling the truth that is right in front of them. The Democrats haven't exactly been brilliant either - spent too many years courting Big Business. I could go on.. I saw this guy wearing a t-shirt the other day that said "Vote For Anyone Else In 2004" Gotta love that I'm sure this was a failure of the power grid system - but it does show just how vulnerable the US can be. I've always been a proponent of living off the grid system- solar, wind, wave power is much more reliant in the long run.

I just feel really sorry for you lot, it seems like a real climate of fear since Sept. 2001. Best, Andrew Well,from what I can see on tv here in Minneapolis - people just seem to be trying to get home. Apparently, things are pretty orderly for the most part in NYC. I'm sure there will be lots of stories of disorder that will come later - especially if power isn't restored before nightfall. It's been hot there (NYC) and people will get bored - but who knows. Stay calm, wait and see. There's not much reporting going on of other cities though - the Freep had a blurb on it, not much more info yet as to the condition of the city.

I hope people are OK, maybe we can get some reports of what it was like? It's strange to say the least that so many cities got knocked out at around the same time, 4pm. I don't want to believe it, but my heart is not feeling good about this. People treat like animals. :-( Take care people.
