I was just speaking to my daughter about Government Cheese and trying to get some answers to questions that have plagued me all my life concerning said cheese, and she says, "You know what bothers me? Fourteen years ago when we really needed it where the hell was the emergency broadcast system?"
And you know she is right!
How many times in my life time have I had to listen to that stupid AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
noise right in the middle of my favorite song, and then beeep beep beep. "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only a test. If this were a real emergency you would be instructed ..." blah blah blah...I know it by heart! I swear I did not look it up. THAT is how many times I have heard it.
Yet, we get attacked on 911 and I do not remember even once hearing the damn emergency broadcast system. Do you?
I remember everything that happened that day. My daughter was deploy-able, just getting back from all of her Army training, so let me tell you my ears and eyes were open to everything all day long!!! And, no emergency broadcasting system type "computer voice" ever came on the radio or TV.
So, if you ever find out what the hell the emergency broadcast system is for please let me know. Cuz it sure as hell wasn't for the biggest emergency this country has seen since WWII!
Tomorrow I will be blogging about government cheese...stay tuned.
