The Doom and Gloom Report - CBS's Jericho

Just from the trailers that have appeared on tv we will attempt to expose some inaccuracies within the show....or at least try to and if no, it might just make you think.

Like for instance...the flash to bang time seems to be off. Actually in the trailers, the flash and the bang happen at the same time. I will have to watch this a little more carefully when the actual show is on. For you to see the flash and hear the bang at the very same time....well, you wouldn't be alive long enough to talk about it. Remember lightning???? 10001, 1002, 1003....tells you har far away the lightning struck when you hear the thunder., same principle here. Kansas to Boulder or Denver must give you up to 5 seconds or more from the time you see the flash to the time you hear the explosion. Now thinking about it, they show blast damage. That would need to occure extremely more close to the source of the explosion than the distance the show gives the viewers.

Electro Magnetic Pulse... (EMP) That is where you see all the lights go out at once. Those circuits are now fried. Now when they speak that they have their own frequencies but not any from the outside.... How is this possible if they experienced an EMP?? They could have miraculously shut their system down prior to the emp but this is unlikely unless they were aware of an impending nuclear explosing which from the tone of the trailers they were not.

Maybe it is me but I really hope the creaters took a little more thought into the scientific possibilities and didn't take too much literary license here.

We'll see next month.

Til then, remember to take breaks when loading your safe room.

Thank You

We have a few people who visit this blog on occasion but there is one who is unknown. This person uses Westelcom and must do his or her viewing at work since no hits occure after 5 or on the weekdays.

I can see that for the most part it is just a visit, through Newzjunky, to see what's up but there are times where the visitor will peruse the commentaries made by those of us who have left behind our thoughts for the day.

Happy to know we're providing something worth reading.

and to that,

Thanks

Lest We Forget

I had the luxury of visiting New Orleans a couple of years ago. The french quarter is something that one will never forget. The city was rich with history, architecture, and its people. Currently it is but a shell of its former self.

We, as a people, should never forget the tragedy that occured. The seemingly needless despair by the people. People, reguardless of color or background should never be forced en masse into a sea of hopelessness that Katrina left.

Lessons should be learned and rememberd to limit the reoccurance...... anywhere. Mandatory evacuations should be just that.....mandatory, and as such the people should be afforded a way out if they are unable to do so on their own. Governments at ALL levels failed these people and consequently failed us all.

Lest we forget
