Following FEMA's Zombie Preparedness Plan Could Land You On Terrorist List

colinneagle writes "As if warning a zombie apocalypse is imminent, FEMA hosted a webinar for its Citizen Corps encouraging emergency planners 'to use the threat of zombies — the flesh-hungry, walking dead — to encourage citizens to prepare for disasters.' The problem is many of those recommendations would have you do things that would flag you as a possible terrorist according to The DOJ's controversial 'Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities' guidelines. From the article: 'Don't be silly by thinking you must actually break the law before cops deem you a potential threat and report you. Paying with cash comes under numerous "you might be a terrorist if" lists. Whatever you do, stocking up on non-perishable food as the feds advise should not include buying "meals ready to eat" since that, too, is potentially suspicious and means you might be a terrorist. "Suspicious activity" at military surplus stores includes making "bulk purchases" of "weatherproofed ammunition or match containers and meals ready to eat, as does suspicious purchasing of "night vision devices include night flashlights and gas masks."'"

This is a kind of a reductio ad Hitlerum. The problem is that some people are just to serious about themselves.
Imagine that you truly believe that Muhammed was the greatest, biggest et ceterea, in the world. You and your friends believe in the *proper* imaginary bearded friend in the clouds. You and your little bearded friends are the only ones who really, fully and totally understand the truth, and everyone should obey you. Now keep that thought...
You also see that you and your country didn't contribute to anything at all for the last say 300 years, on any terrain except some pious womenbeatings.
Third you see the big Satan and his little helper (the west + Israel) getting people into space, inventing combustion engines, tv's, electric tin openers, microwaves, electricity, [expand the list as you like] and some of those inventions are used to kick your butt.

This is why there are Mohammedan-terrorists: they feel that the time is NOW or NEVER, and by all means should it be worthwhile to convert (or kill) the infidels.
Just wait it out, after a bit they will have their own renaissance and we'll all live peacefully here. Same goes for all of the mentalist by the way (ecomentalists, pro-life/choise-mentalists left/rightwing-mentalists, gun-nutters, and so on) and clearly even comic-book-mentalists believing that a zombie-apocalypse is on our hands... So it is not about being human, it is about being human & mental...

But I wont kill anyone for this believe, it is a mere opinion... :-)
