We need a color between orange and red!

[Theophylact]

For when we attack Iraq. We don't want the stock market to get too nervous.

A new level of fear management.

Well, as I've said before, you could have "level orange" alert, followed by "level-orange-going-a-bit-red" followed by "level-not-quite-red-but-not-so-orange-either"...

...followed by "level-okay-you-got-me-it's-red-but-with-STILL-a-bit-of-orange-in-it".


I'm only here to help.

Stock market should start going up once the war starts. Its the uncertainity that is unnerving.

ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS !

Why do we need colors at all? When the news reports 'today, the gov't raised the alert to orange - that means high state of alert.' If they have to tell you what the color means thry could just say, 'today, the gov't raised the alert toa high state of alert.'

why do you need these colors anyway =) isnt it enough to say it or just write it down?
