Security Levels

As we all know, London and G-Lo have been terrorist targets this past week. So the UK has raised their security threat level to critical, which is the highest on their scale of 5.

In America, we too have a threat level system with 5 levels. But when things go wrong and some extremist tries to blow something up we don't have a critical problem, we have an ORANGE problem or a RED problem. Think about that. We are so stupid as a general population that we're running our country's security operation like a paint by numbers exercise.

Level = America's Label = UK Labels (according to Cal)
1* = red = critical
2 = orange = severe
3 = yellow = danger
4 = blue = boring
5 = green = who gives a shit
*apparently there is a 0th/-1st level in Scotland called "G-Lo city center Saturday night

The president spilled his milk again - ORANGE! A rape joke was made using Condoleza Rice - RED! Millions of people are living below the poverty line in New Orleans without employment opportunities and rising crime - green! Our social security will run out in 25 years - blue!
