Those taking part live and work underground for long spells at secret fortified locations on the East Coast. Check it out. Go the to BBC News website and type in Bush underground shadow government. It's pretty scary stuff.

Well, when you call it a "shadow" government, you make it sound scary. Its a BACK UP government like someone else said.
Im not sure you've got your shit right here though- are you reffering to the way all of our top government officials are sent to different secure locations in case of an attack, or is there a totally separate group of people undergound somewhere?
If there is, it shouldn't matter- its not like they're sitting in a dark cave researching weapons that could destroy the universe or talking to aliens or planning to take over the U.S. and then the world- they're just sitting there doing what normal people do, they are normal people just like us after all. They may be egotistical jackasses like clinton (or most other politicians), but they aren't satan possessed evil beings from hell or anything.
Besides, we elected our government officials and charged them with running the government, we should trust their judgement in selecting this backup government rather than freaking out about it like a bunch of whining cry baby liberal ass pussies.
