#1 Thousands fleeing - does that imply a whole lot of guilty consciences?

#2 Ask yourself, "Just WHERE are they all going?" I don't think its to Grandma's house.

Ever seen an Arclight strike.? Even 15 miles a way you can feel it.
I don't know which is more impressive and frightening, day or night? Daylight you see the air compressed to crystal globes 500 feet across that shatter in fractions of a second and flee along with the shrapnel and the blast wave making a crater thirty feet deep and big enough to throw an entire neighborhood down into while the guts of the blast shoots up like an accusing finger at heaven black and then red, a curse successfully delivered. Whole battalions of dead and the trees lean over and bow and never stand up straight again. The birds are all gone and you can walk through a week later and the only sound is the squelch of the mud and the silence where your ammo belt clinks occasionally. Not the sound of so much as a cricket at night. Empty blackness.

#3 Arclight? Slowly I turned step by step, step by step I crept upon him and when I saw the streak on his countenance I grabbed him and I couldnt help myself and I was going out my mind. So Yeah. We once Arclitered Niagara Falls.
