I don't claim any experience in biological or chemical preparedness. But I almost choked on my breakfast when I heard Charlie Gibson say that you could thwart a chemical weapon attack with a roll of duct tape and a plastic sheet (can you say duck and cover?). I'd like to make two proposals:

1) We change the definition of WMD to "Wild Monkey Dance" ‘cause that seems to be what we are doing.

2) We take the popularization of gloom and doom and turn it into something positive. If I choked when I heard the Charlie Gibson comment, I had a heart attack when my wife asked me about our 72 hour kit (I slid her a copy of "Aboman's guide to Survival and Self Reliance".). The sensationalization can turned into a teachable moment. I say we use it.
