OK... so it's an EMERGENTcy!
Push it through a DHS grant/contract, or better yet (for your
entertainment) DTRA! Did you know I just collected another $200 (Much

You left out the word "emergent". NSF now has a requirement that any grant
application delivered from a FRIAM affiliate must have the word "EMERGENT"
clearly printed on the return receipt.

I mean, seriously. What if?
Maybe ambient modeling can be involved, get an NSF grant, trace ripple

Supposedly it is easier to manage groups in the grip of fear than groups of
marijuana smokers.

amounts of fear and an icon for that fear. This practi
