First, I don't know why I am compelled to respond to issues like this. It must be some form of an intellectual gawker response.

The odds are pretty good that in my lifetime, say 30 more years, that someone will drop, carry, or float, the big bopper on U.S. soil. Our government is supposed to be hard at work to prevent this, and I guess that worries more than anything.

The effect of the bomb on the market. In N.Y. the bomb would end it. I would start a new market here in Detroit and for a $50 advanced deposit I will give you a seat. Now if the bomb is exploded in say Ohio, well that would be a good thing. Then we could pave over the state and put a bullet train right thru it without any concern for the the local property. Ohio would make a good site for all kinds of waste products too.

Who would want to drop a bomb on the good old USA? Take your pick, but the smart money would say the middle east. Don't forget about Canada, because they are really tired of playing second fiddle around here. I will make it perfectly clear that I am all in favor of just taking over Canada. The next time our armed forces don't have much to do elsewhere in the world, lets send up north and get some value for our tax dollars.

Good luck and hopefully, if there is going to be a bombing, it will be in Ohio. Ever ask yourself why those folks from Ohio didn't just build one great city, instead of all those little ones scattered about the vast spaces? Go figure.

(Yes the author is quite insane (in a "good" way) and means no real offense to the fine people of Ohio)
