Medorthophobia...

Yesterday I was on an alert-mode for the whole afternoon. The school where my daughter is studying was exercising an Emergency Evacuation Exercise with simulated scenario, thus necessitating us to be on standby for at anytime, official from school would be calling us to get our daughter out from school.

According to my daughter, it was their first since the existence of this school to have organized such a drill. Days earlier, the school have given all parents Information Pack about this drill. It contained detailed instruction on how to ‘save’ your kids. The instruction was plain and simple with some colorful cards and map that came with it. So we were supposed to display one of the cards on our dashboard, follow the route that was given, and fetch the kids and go. No waiting and jamming the place – that was written clearly in bold in the instruction.

So when they finally called missus later that afternoon (they didn’t call me), she went straight to fetch our daughter. Though there was some confusion over the selected route (as there were actually two routes depending on instruction on which to take), missus managed it well and was there on time to fetch our daughter. The course went very well and smooth.

This was not a Fire Drill like what we’d normally have, it was an Emergency Evacuation Drill for security reason. Well… the Information pack reassured us the chance of a real security incident at the school was remote, their whole plan was actually represent a sensible level of precaution in preparing us for the unlikelihood of a real security threat.

See the problem with these people, I mean ..... they can act like they’re so freaking concern on the safety of our kids, but actual fact is they’re just shit scared of their own shadows, ergo all the needless, I mean real unnecessary precautious that they have to take (considering where we are now).

See this year alone, the congress butt in with the proposed purchase of a giant oil company and a port management company by one power-emerging Far East Company and a Middle East company. Just Imagine a normal business transaction with no inkling bit of politics in it excited congress to meddle in.

It was the irrational fears that actually brought the congress and whitehouse into this what seems to be a normal ‘Free-Trade’ business transaction. Years after the 9/11, their national system for gathering secrets and predicting threats (ironically called “intelligence”) is still a mess as shown by the unfounded suspicions that the have. Not to mention the system’s colossal failure to figure out that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction.

I am sure the linguistic expert can name this type of phobia – unnecessary fear of all possibilities that can be a threat to the nation, I have checked the list of phobia here
O well…..the price that they’re paying..
