It's a blackout.  Whoopdy-doo.  You are easily manipulated by sensationalist media.  Don't bother me, until you've got pictures of the exploded van, embedded in the collapsed power station.

Let me get my photoshop out....

...yeah they say they ruled out terrorism.  My guess - everyone turned their airconditioners on higher and the grid blew.  Blackout 2005...just like Blackout 2003.

Won't surprise me if the blackout turns out to be something beyond an innocent blackout, however.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

A power outage is a minor inconvenience. A terrorist group like Al Queda would only target a power generation facility if they could make it go BOOOOOOOM! and kill lots of locals.

Sleep easy young ones.

Edit: If you're in LA, with your girlfriend, I swear your chance is right now. Keep the lady warm! :drevil:

She can keep warm just fine by herself in LA... it's freakin' hot there.

Of course, that just means that now is your chance to keep her more than warm. ;7

you should see all the news channels. they've been going on for FOUR HOURS over a stupid blackout.

also, the cause of te blackout was tha some poor sap cut the wrong wire and the entire system went down to keep from going kablooey.

according to the DWP.

Like past tapes, it appears to include the same graphics and production techniques recognized by U.S. officials as part of al Qaeda's standard propaganda production. In this tape, the speaker levels threats against the United States and Great Britain.

Yep, you've just gotta watch out for the American or British City of MELBOURNE[/Sarcasm]!!! For cryin' out loud! Does Australia actually have to be ****ing attacked before it gets a mention in the news!? ****ing American media *stomps off angrily*
