What’s the deal with everyone running out and buying as much duct tape and plastic sheeting as they can fit in their little arms. I know that’s what the news has been reporting but really. What are the chances that if something were to happen people would be smart enough to figure out how the completely seal off their entire house with duct tape and plastic sheeting. And then comes the problem of if for some reason they do manage to get it completely air tight how exactly are they planning to breathe for an extended period of time. See there’s this concept of respiration that involves taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. Once they’ve been in their plastic cocoon for a while eventually the carbon dioxide will take over the oxygen and they’ll pass out and die. SO WHAT’S THE POINT????
I thought we were supposed to go on with our normal lives to show the terrorists that we weren’t afraid. How does running out and depleting the duct tape supply, raising gas prices to $2 a gallon and selling gas masks prove to anyone that we aren’t afraid. I hate to say it but the terrorists have already won, even if they don’t do anything to us. This is exactly what they want… fear and the consequences of fear, or as some might say “Terror”. In conclusion of this lovely rant I already have a roll of duct tape, but that’s because I ALWAYS have a roll of duct tape. I don’t have any plastic sheeting but I do have zip lock bags. Maybe I could just put one of those over my head…
