Are we being prepared for something? Or do they simply have money to burn?

Not to sound paranoid, but ... Ohio state government is running this scary public service announcement during the Olympics -- not scary in the sense that I am worried about the supposed coming pandemic, but scary in the sense that the state is spending so much money to fill me with fear. It's almost like some sort of propaganda campaign to soften the psyche -- Big Brother is watching out for you! What next? Reruns of Duck and Cover?
