Doesn't surprise me at all that this kind of behavior is going on in New Bern and I expected it to happen a lot sooner than it did. In a real life situation this is exactly what would happen. Complete breakdown of a society as a whole would surely happen after such a cataclysmic disaster. That is what this show Jericho is all about. It surely shows how an immense disaster can bring out the Best and Worst in all of us and how they go about dealing with it on a daily basis. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

""Constatino is feeding the town with lies that he apparantly believes himself! That, or, he is so driven by power in this new age of living that he wants to control it all, like some power hungry psychopath." Very important so I repeated it again! Constantino is a psychopath! We haven't discussed this, but the hospital is short of medical supplies, that implies that certain other medications for heart disease, diabetes, and getting to the point....psychotropic drugs for people with schizoprenia(spelling minus 1), paranoia, and other psychologocal disorders are certainly in short supply! In a stressed out environment like this, everybody and particularly people with those disorders, without the medication, are going to freak. I think we have a need for a Chinese airdrop of generic Lithum, Prozac, and other medications of that type!"
It's bout time someone said what he was. We really do need to liberate that town. What should be done is bomb the town with their own mortars, but only hit gov. buildings, not residential or businesses. Therefore, the town sees we're really trying to help them.

Thanks, HJ! Yes, we need to liberate New Bern. I like the idea of GOV bldg's only :) but unfortunately given the previews for this week, I think Jericho will get hit first!

Hey, we could launch one of those little things called a COUNTERSTRIKE!!! I'm all for that! Just keep it on gov. buildings, we need the brainwashed citizens to see that we arn't trying to work against them.

Hey HJ and Thinkingguy. Whilest I may agree with the notion that we need to liberate New Bern of the radical thinking, it sounds a bit like what we are doing or "Supposedly" Doing in Iraq.

I would like to think that we would approach it more diplomatically. If we strike back, we would only be advancing and perpetuating all the negative thoughts and ideas and reteric that New Bern has about us.

Jericho is I believe out gunned HJ. I think we may have better minds, but don't have as much to work with, unless I'm missing something. See continued comments with franfan below.

Franfan.....I have to agree with you....but dipomacy only works so far....when you have a mad man like Constantino, force seems to work. As soon as I say that, he seems to think Jericho is aggressing angainst New Bern. We have a classic standoff. ZI have said before and I will say it again Constantion may be a crazy without his medication.

We may be outgunned as far as weaponry and artilery, but consider this: Constantino when in Johnstons face says that Jericho couldnt even help out New Bern when "they were raiding whatever we had left...shooting our deputies, my friends..."

Logic would dictate that his "friends" would be fellow people in law enforcement who could handle themselves with weaponry. One might also take the stance that since there is way more chaos in New Bern than in Jericho, one might assume that the force of New Bern may not be as well organized as we are. Also, being in possession of the tank just might , HOPEFULLY, make Constantino stand down and realize he doesnt have a prayer.

I do agree with you about his crazy meds thinkingguy, however, I also agree that circumstances have driven him to such a state of pandamonium and uncertainty that he may be just so crazed by all the events around him including the bombs that he doesnt know how to react...

Youre right. What I dont understand is could the townfolk of New Bern be so brainwashed or screwed up in the head that every able bodied man would volunteer to attack a neighboring city? As for Jericho, every able bodied person is arming themselves for our survival, for the right to live, not to attack, not to be the agressors. And we, NOT New Bern, have every right to be acting like them. Theyre trying to hurt us, not the other way around. We will be severely outmanned next week. We need the tank and we need it now. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Those democrats over in New Bern are vicious. Where are the republicans over there?

I can see how we'll be out-armed, but why out-manned? What is Jericho's population? What is New Bern's population?

I also agree about them being brainwashed. How is it that not one friend exists between the two towns? How is it that these friends in New Bern never came out to Jericho to check things out for themselves? It just seems like they are the epitome of idiocy over there in New Bern. When Jericho is done with them, they should make any survivors of New Bern their slaves to the 10th generation. They should burn their city down, ravish their wives and daughters, and slay their sons and fathers.

Thus saith Allah.

Democrats are not aggressors, Republicans are. BUSH is the ultimate portrayal of this.

Also, how can anyone say that god, in whatever form you worship or believe in him, could utter the command to "burn cities down, ravish women, slay men". Was it not similar ramblings that brought upon September 11th?

Allah Akbar. It is Allah commanding us to exercise his judgment on those who reject Him. Would you rather he send down a billion thunderbolts?

We love democrats. They allow us to invade your country and plot to do the will of Allah. We are happy Bush is leaving office soon. America, elect democrats!

So at what point do mindless fanatics stop convincing themselves that it is their god given responsibility to inflict pain on anyone they see fit. YET, it is these same automotons that whine and complain that they are the oppressed. HYPOCRITICAL in their beliefs and teachings..

When you hold something back that has recoil , with something that cannot contain the recoil force necessary to keep it held back, the holding arm will soon snap and it will come caving in on you.

America's power/resolve is weak, it cannot hold back the recoil in store from radical islam. I agree with you FranFran, I am not the anonymous poster from previous, but unless we toughen up like WW2 and get a Churchill attitude, we are done for.

Very good Anonymous...from Churchill...."One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half."

Thank you Anonymous for that posting. I couldnt agree with you more. However, along with taking a Churchill attitude, we should also NOT be provoking those that hate us or our way of life. Like other religous fanatics. Sure, there are many many religouns out there that believe they are the end all be all say all and that without converting to their thought you will not attain perfection, whatever the source of perfection may be. However, you dont as a rule of thumb see these people causing bodily harm to others and creating violence. We as Americans should be proud of being Americans with the freedoms that we have , however, we do not need to go around forcing our beliefs or way of life on others. Every man and woman has a mind, one that they have the right to make decisions with. If youre unhappy with your way of life, do something about it, make a change.

In reference to your comment regarding radical islam, i whole heartedly agree with you once again. Instead of concentrating our efforts on trying to redeem daddys name from 17 years ago, we should as a nation be guarding our freedoms, our way of life, because whether it be domestic (like in Jericho) or foreign, ie Radical Islam, Jericho could someday be a real world situation, and again, do we survive?

(as for anyone reading this that may be in the Islam faith, please understand I am not knocking nor disrespecting the Islam belief. I admire and respect those of you who DO NOT fool themselves into believing that perpetuating violence is the only way to appease god. I respect everyones freedom of choice and right to live their lives as they see fit.)

Quoting Churchill: "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject," and "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." Neither Republican or Democrats are aggressors...He who thinks so has not eyes, he who thinks so has not a ears.Few Republican are appeasers..more Democrats are,but not all and most if not all would gladly take you on! No matter who we elect we will win, there will be battles lost and men and men and women lost, but if you take one more precious life here, there is one man at least who will not falter, wring my hands, and worry about the lost lives of the innocents. I will meet you in the street, the fields, the homes, wherever you wish, for these are my people, my country, and our religions, and I will do what is necessary to protect them,even yours! As a person of the book as are all Christians, Jews, and Moslems,we worship the same one God, have the same prophets, desended fom Abraham. Please read this partial koran verse in my next post.

From the Koran:This is an account of what is hidden. We reveal it to you. You were not present when they cast lots to see which of them should have charge of Mary; nor were you present when they argued about her.The angels said to Mary: "Allah bide you rejoice in a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He shall be noble in this world and in the next, and shall be favored by Allah. He shall preach to men in his cradle and in the prime of manhood, and shall lead a righteous life.".... to confirm the Torah that has already been revealed and to make lawful to you some of the things you are forbidden. I bring you a sign from your Lord: therefore fear Him and obey Me. Allah is my God and your God: therefore serve him. That is the straight path." They denied the truth and uttered a monstrous falsehood against Mary. They declared: "We have put to death the Messiah Jesus the son of ivory, the apostle of Allah." And again the next....
