Jim, re: After 9/11 you said the country is over-reacting...that it was no biggie. I said the government was over-reacting, I never said it was "no-biggie". And I think it was you that said there were 100's (1000's?, I can search) of sleeper cells in the US, just waiting to attack. Kapcan (sp?) said that at any time they were going to feed anthrax into mall air conditioning systems. Tim May suggested everyone should hunker down for the "second wave", not leave their houses for anything. Hoard their money. There was a lot of hysteria, and you were a part of that. I pointed out that it was only the second terrorist attack on US soil in history. Guess what, it still is. I pointed out that regardless, a ladder or a bananna skin or being a pedestrian was more dangerous than terrorism. Guess what, it still is. If you would like to debate the topic of fear/risk after 9/11, or now, it's OK with me. With a little effort I can dig up your old hysterical posts. re: In a month or two there will be a governement in place in Iraq, run by Iraqi's. If they don't want that, then... Step it up a notch... What an idiot. John
