(Ever notice how women generally.. are ever so much more Sane about this religious self-delusion + martyrdom stuff? Think it could be that defective chromosome again?) Check out [link\|http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:CLXKBXVmSUw:www.rediff.com/news/2001/jul/24ltte3.htm+woman+suicide+bomber&hl=en\| source ] All that is required (ever) is to make villain so evil, the cause so just, that the death of one is a small price to pay to prevent the evil from happening to thousands of others. (Basically the same cause-effect relationship that the abortion bombers were using.) I glad that the passengers subdued the man. Sorry it had to happen that way. Really happy that this guy was a putz and not a professional (otherwise the plane would've gone up). Really sad for the next person who has a seizure on a plane (they're going to get the tar beaten out of 'em). I'm really annoyed at this putz (I think he's a copycat - that attempt was pathetic). And I'm really sad that people still haven't figured it out yet. Ah well, thus is the death of current commercial aviation. Expect to see fractional jet ownership on the rise. (and I still prefer the tonfa over the traditional nightstick. :-)

(never mind which way the wind blows, bunky) PS - sorry to hear that Sri Lanka has bridged the gender gap. Twice. Lest this become a pattern, I think we'd best nuke all in that area, to prevent the spread of this hideous brain disease. If it infected women - there'd be no hope left.

Start your trip .. early! on Euphoria Airlines [brought to you by Rapture Associates]. Yes friends, for your safety, convenience and security - the best of that confiscated Sinsemilla is administered by our jack-booted but ever so friendly er 'camouflage suited' Happy Bunnies. You're forgetting the people in the targets - unless you want to suggest that people starting working for Euphoria Enterprises in the 'big building that is a nice target'. What happens when the next plane is a cargo jet? (Of course, then the terrorist will have to learn to "take off" - or sneak aboard and wait for the pilot to take off.) (I still don't understand bin Laden - hell, if he's got the cash he's rumored to have, he could BUY a 757 to fly into a big building.)

A new jet airliner is [link\|http://www.boeing.com/commercial/prices/\|going to run you] US$80+ million, depending on the options package (air is included, chrome, and sound system extra). A used aircraft could likely be aquired for a fraction of that price, but still an order or two of magnitude more than the cost of the attacks. Crime pays. Particularly when you're using it to commit more crime. `-- Karsten M. Self [link\|mailto:kmself@ix.netcom.com\|kmself@ix.netcom.com] What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?`
