New Re: Major nit.
Only an existing, police surveillance or a military warning system could have prevented the WTC destruction.


...The thing people like Nightey and especially Der Berk et al seem to forget was that there was already enough "security" at the airports to have stopped the hijackings. All we needed is for that "security" to have actually done their jobs...


BINGO! I haven't forgetten that, that is what I've been trying to say! That we aren't any safer now than we were then in regards to what the Government has done or will do, and that the concept of truly safe doesn't exist.

And I was adding that when I came to that conclusion, the only thing I realized from it, was it is your actions that keeps you the safest, by being careful and protecting yourself when you can, NOT the Government. I was trying to write it in a sarcastic manner, but I'm not good at that I guess. ;)

Ah well, I never was.

"So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't."

My own limited experience with his work has struck me as being despondent in tone. I get that, but if I wanted to be hopeless and depressed about the state of the world I would just listen to the voices in my head.
