What's your plan when we are down 17-0 in the 4th with Alex Smith as your QB?

It's not a plan. It's a pipe dream.
My plan for making it through this? That Giselle Bundchen will leave Tom Brady, see me at a Wal-Mart and decide she must have me before settling for merely making me her play toy and financially supporting my family.
That plan is just as much a plan as "everyone will just do what the government tells them to do..." It is equally as likely to happen.
It's a prayer with the name 'plan' attached to it.
That's my point. Or more accurately, my point is that policymakers know damn good and well that they aren't going to get 100% compliance and all this complaining is mostly hand-wringing and Kabuki theater. They want to be able to say "look - we TOLD these people to stay inside..." so that nobody blames them for anything. It's a CYA bitch-fest from policymakers.
Because their 'plan' of everyone being as calm as hindu cows and doing what they're told is just wholly unrealistic. You know it, I know it and they damn sure know it.
I have to believe they were factoring in 'acceptable noncompliance' and if they weren't...well like I said, that's a really shitty plan.
