What I’m about to say has so much potential for controversy that I offer an advance disclaimer. I’m not issuing Holy Writ. I’m not advocating a new doctrine.

A few weeks ago, the citizens of Hawaii thought they were facing the end of the world, or at least a nuclear explosion on their islands. By now you’ve heard the story of the erroneous warning that went out: BALLISTIC MISSLE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Of course, …
