But the rest of us might review Cooper's Color Codes of Awareness:
White Relaxed, unaware, and unprepared
Yellow Relaxed alertness
Orange Specific alert
Red Fight trigger
From my Examiner column: Although officialdom constantly seeks to disarm you with promises of protection, the reality is that you are ultimately responsible for your own safety. Always remain in condition yellow, a relaxed alert state. Note the shortest route to an exit, and don't be caught by surprise. Don't be caught with your back to the door, like Wild Bill Hickock.When you go out the door, turn on condition yellow.

Bologna. These days, you need to pretty be much on yellow in your own home. It elevates as you go out of your home, and depending upon where you are, you should always be on orange, at a minimum. Otherwise, you are setting yourself for an assault.
ReplyDeleteI call Bologna on your comment. Orange is being aware of a "specific" threat. That means Yellow is the highest state unless and until you identify a threat. You are just ratcheting the color codes up a notch to make it sound like you are smarter than the author. Fail. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteAwareness For Awareness.
ReplyDeleteI bet 'Most People' have never even thought about their general 'Awareness'. Even those people that wear 'Awareness bracelets'. LOL JK That's Not Funny
