I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
Anyone with a mind can see that the Bush Administration will not let the Terror Threat Level fall below Bert, so why are they bothering to have lower levels? There will ALWAYS be a terrorist threat, such is the nature of terror. Instead of keeping it at "Low" or "Moderate" (in my opinion, where it should be) they instead keep it at "Elevated," most likely just to try to scare people.
On an associated grammar note - last time I checked, "Moderate" is a middle-value indicator, so why is it the second-lowest ranking, shouldn't it be in the middle? Also, what is the real difference between "Elevated" and "High?" Isn't every value on the damn chart above "Low" considered "Elevated?"
I'm sorry for this bout of rational thought, I now return you to your regularly scheduled propaganda.
