Black-out... and I don't mean Nelson Mandela

God Bless the great state of Kalifornia and its citizens, otherwise we don’t have a chance.

Everyone is talks about national security, how we must spend more money to make our selves a safer nation. We establish new councils and pass new acts. We are now the proud owners of Homeland Security, and wonderful bills that allow the federal government to make conference calls out of our private phone conversations.

All this protection and yet when LA on September 13^th had a power outage, the state government was in a complete panic, they had no clue what had happened. Half the city thought it was under a terrorist attack and the other half was in the dark altogether. Traffic lights where out, people where stuck in elevators, and downtown high-rises where promptly evacuated.

Rest assured everyone it was no terrorist attack, the only real terror is our education system; one of two DWP workers had cut the so called “wrong wire” while conducting maintenance. This incident had triggered the system to go offline, it’s a safety measure that the DWP employs in case of an emergency, and thus three million people where left in the dark.

All this money for protection against would-be terrorist, and we’re not even prepared for a blackout.
