Torrens54 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Smart move. Now all the "Nay-Sayers" will scream that the authorities are being "Alarmist." If they hadn't taken action, the "Nay-Sayers" would be screaming about the authorities being "Incompetent." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
