So today EZ pointed out that the piece I posted, re: Jubal Aviv, the supposed terror expert, had actually been debunked on Snopes. And I clicked the link, and I said "Well I'll be damned," and thus I post this acknowledgement that, yeah--I bought it, and it's apparently bunk, and so I am slightly more-pink-in-the-face than usual. (Normally I can smell a Snopes a mile away...that one was well-done, I'll tell you what.) And regardless--some of the advice is still pretty good--re: having a plan, especially families with kids in school and what-not.
Still, all in all, I got hoaxed too, so: yeah, feeling a bit silly just now.
I still believe it. Snopes isn't always right.
