Default Department of Homeland Fearmongering

I just saw a commercial with a bunch of short clips of children and a voice over encouraging us to have a plan for "possible terrorist attacks." Pure fear-mongering by the Department of Homeland Security. It pisses me off. I mean really, really pisses me off. They don't give a shit whether we're prepared, they want us to be scared. That's it.

That is the Ministry of Truth's job, isn't it?

I've got a "gut feeling" that they're full of shit. Fear is big business.
For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.

I looked around for a link to it on the internet and I couldn't find one. Anyone else?
