Liberals in NY agree with E more than me. And they make up a majority. Some think 9/11 was our fault in some metaphysical sort of way. When push comes to shove, few will sacrifice their children if wiretapping nips terror in the bud. I respect the civil liberty impulse but not E's desire for martyrdom. Maybe women get 70 male virgins in her faith of a free pass to Chippendales--think she said atheism was her gig.

I'm not sure that's true about terrorism. I think people on the West Coast know they are vulnerable- especially since Mexico is such a porous border. I can't believe I'm the only one on the West Coast to worry about that. I agree with you that local problems do tend to be regional in their interest- like Katrina, but I would disagree that terrorism is a regional issue, or that most people think it is one.

Mount St. Helens shoots steam into air Tue May 30, 1:40 AM ET news.yahoo.com Mount St. Helens shot a steam and ash plume at least 16,000 feet into the air Monday after a large rockfall from the lava dome in the volcano's crater, scientists said. Pilots reported the plume rose between 16,000 and 20,000 feet in the air, scientists at the Cascades Volcano Observatory said. The rockfall coincided with a magnitude 3.1 earthquake shortly after 9 a.m. Monday at the mountain, scientists said. Such events are expected during growth of the lava dome, they said. "There is no evidence of an explosion associated with this event," the observatory said in a statement. Clouds obscured the crater at the time. "We don't know how much steam and how much ash," Cynthia Gardner, scientist in charge at the observatory, told The Columbian. "These are very short-lived events." Lava has continued to push into the crater — most recently forming a sheer rock fin — since the 8,364-foot mountain reawakened with a drumfire of low-level seismic activity in September 2004. The crater was formed by the volcano's deadly May 18, 1980, eruption that killed 57 people and blasted about 1,300 feet off the then-9,677-foot peak. * * *
