Is a bandit sneaking away with the light?
Is there a conspiracy of darkness?
Or are there to many thoughts and not enough thinking?

The American government issues a warning Monday, unspecific, to all Americans at home and abroad to be on their guard for possible terrorist attacks.

“Live your lives normally,” say the officials, “but look out for unknown horrible dangers.”

To many thoughts and not enough thinking.

“The sky is falling, the sky is falling!” Cried Chicken Little as he ran through the farm yard screaming at the top of his squawky adolescent rooster voice.

Get all the slow thinkers together, form a committee and get back to me. Try to avoid statements like, “Don’t panic, but something bad is going to happen, we don’t know what and we don’t know where.” (The sky is falling)
