Thank God for the internet.
Meanwhile, there are still voices of common sense in the mass media. Maureen Dowd, for example, has this to say about Tom Ridge and his new focus-group-tested campaign to spreadmass fear readiness in case of another terrorist attack:
"What Mr. Ridge is supposed to be doing is getting the best scientific and technical expertise, as it relates to all threats, and developing concrete plans and suggestions for every possible contingency.
"He's not supposed to be selling security, or spinning it; he's supposed to be providing it.
"He doesn't need to make security more alluring to us. We already find it absolutely alluring. We'd just like to get some more of it."
