    Hello? I'm talking about the hysteria that preceded the event, and the fact that it was an event at all.

    The katrina victims were 'stranded for a few days?' Do you mean the bodies stacked up all over the Superdome or floating down the streets of New Orleans?

    We were talking about freedom, and how easily it can be compromised during times of disaster and fear.

    I am going to read that article today. Thank you, Mr Gee.

    This is what being with Boom has done to me. I need to get outside now. 8)

    As far as I know, the "left-leaning people" ask for timetables on Iraq, not the "War on Terror." There is a difference.


    21, I'll put it like this: We are fighting ignorance and hate. The ONLY cure is education. The only way to educate is generate enough financial stability that children allowed to spend their time in schools.

    You can't kill hate and ignorance by bombing the absolute shit out of every house, shack, cave, or farm. There are other ways. They are just long, slow and sometimes expensive. They also require a ton of hard work and effort.

    Because of elections that occur every few years and our ever shrinking attention span, too many people want a quick solution.

    "Hey lets setup a democracy in Iraq! This will fix all of the Middle East."

    It just isn't that simple.

    I really dread this fall when ol' Pork Chop starts to appear on TV to scare American citizens, once again.
