A
forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local
and national issues Question
of the Week: "What
is your view on the recent heightened terrorism alert level?

"I
think that we need to go on with our lives and be vigilant,
be observant, but I don't think that we should stop doing our ordinary
activities." Lisa Smukler, Brooks Bend

"I
think it is very confusing when the government keeps making the
alert higher and then lower and people don't know exactly what
to do about it what they are personally supposed to
do about it. And so it is getting confusing whether
it is political, whether it is real, and if it is real, what
to do about it." Rick Tucci, Derwin Drive

"I
guess I feel that I can't really relate to it, because I'm Canadian,
and it seems to be a uniquely American phenomenon that Americans
get together and get scared about things. I feel very detached
from it." Mikael Rechtman, College Road

"I
think that it is very difficult to determine what information
the administration has access to that would warrant a particular
threat, and so I don't really pay much attention to the terror
warnings and the elevated threat warnings, and especially the
color-coded system." Sara Nephew, College
Road West

"It
is a right-wing conspiracy, as usual. I don't believe in it at
all." Bob Raphael, Snowden Lane
