You say that because we do not have all the evidence, we cannot say that it's an American based group. Knowing that you do not have all the evidence either, how can you conclusively say that it's Bin Ladden?


On the first point, you are right, Osama has to be removed, and those who are pulling these hoaxes need to pull hard prison time. People have to learn somethings are unacceptable.

On Bin Laden's involvement in the Anthrax deal, I haven't said he did it. I think he or his associates may be involved, but you have to realize saying that American's are a more reasonable possibility is where the disagreement starts.

You have to be alot more careful about charging the victim with the crime than you do associating a known criminal with activity that would fit his mode of operation. You still have to prove it either way, but the victim isn't usually anywhere near the top of the suspect list, and even if they are it is handled very delicately. I don't know that Osama did it for sure, and I'm not ruling out American involvement.

It's kind of like saying a rape victim brought the crime on themself by dressing too sexy. Actually that analogy shoots down all your "brought it on yourself" arguments.

She's been showing off for years! She's been in and out of "bed" with this one and that one. She used to seem nice, but now we don't think so. She makes everyone angry. She's so rude to everyone. We just want her to serve our needs, and she doesn't want to do it our way.

Who does she think she is?

She's just asking for "it" being cocky like that. Knowing she's got what we want and not sharing it the way we want her to. Somebody's gonna give it to her real good one day, and it will be all her fault. She deserves it because she earned it. Her and her uppity friends. She wanted it, you know she did.

I'm not going to have sympathy for her. Not real sympathy, I'll tell her how awful it is while making sure she knows it was all her fault. All her fault!

"The Martyr" (excerpt)

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.

--Herman Melville (written after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln)

It might seem a little harsh, and I hope you don't think I was flamming you because you certainly aren't alone in your point of view.

It seems that recently Lady Liberty has been treated more like she's standing on a street corner under a lamp light, than holding high the beacon of liberty.

Oh yeah, you never told me if you thought my "Canadian Bacon" post was funny

I'm a "would-be" comedian....
I would be a comedian, if I was funny
