The thing that gets me through is remembering the old wisdom, revised in this new edition: "You know how safe you felt on 9/10? What kind of a fiction was that? It was the fiction of too little information. How endangered do you feel now? That is a similar fiction, the hyperawareness of someone with too much information but not enough. Both are incorrect."
Here's a good paranoid quotation for today, from Robert Anton Wilson:
The plight of Bill Maher reminds me of something Ezra Pound wrote about London in 1919: "A single intelligent remark can destroy a man's entire career."
kk's right, as usual. The Feds have foiled many, many, many attacks. This one was successful, there's no reason we won't go another ton of years without another.
We're a lot safer now than we were before. They've broken the backs of a LOT of the US and European terrorist cells. That is good news.
Night, everyone (except Australia and NZ of course).

one thing I can share with you which was told me by my aunt who survived blokade of Leningrad, where bombings were a daily event,
artillery shelling too....
One never knew if he be alive by day's end.
She said they were always trying to wear clean underwear....so folks who bury them wouldn't be ashamed.

"so everybody doesn't panic."
Shit, just watch a little TV and you get paronoid. Press is trying very hard to not have a 'slow news day! Cripes.... everything is a conspiracy? It is starting to get old. This paranoia is just what the terrorists are enjoying!

Haha Nick, will do :)
I heard the guy on the bus was a crackpot who got pissed cause he couldn't have the front seat and lost it. Considering he was a man riding a bus, it's not that farfetched.
Anthrax isn't something that never occurs -- this was a case of inhaling the spores but they said he could have gotten it in NC as well as Fla, since it can take 60 days to incubate. There was an earlier case in Texas this year where a man contracted it subcutaneously while handling cattle I believe it was, well before the Sept 11 incidents.
Serge already said the Indian plane wasnt a hijacking, and I saw that as well.
The Siberian Airlines plane I guess we'll know about when we hear, if we hear, we still don't really know what happened in Lockerbie and it's been a long time on that one. Of course we don't really know what happened in Pennsylvania either at this point.
Going around thinking that terrorists are behind all these acts is enough to drive you paranoid mutt -- and there's nothing you gain by worrying about things you can't change anyway
KK money like nick wishes he... oh well ;)

That's a tough question Serge.
In certain countries cancer patients who are terminal aren't told they are going to die for certain. It used to be like that in the US and Canada too. Now it is standard for doctors to give out exact prognosis unless there is some other factors present.
If there was biological attack, and really there wasn't anything anybody could do to save themselves, i'd still like a day to at least ponder the end, make some phone calls, bury my porn collection in somebody's backyard, that kind of thing

Now they are fucking with the Russian Bear. I think it's obvious these people and the governments who kowtow(sp?) to them have a death wish. I think we must soon make their wishes come true.
I like the United States and Russia playing on the same team.

Indian hi-jacking was a drill which went wrong, there was no hi-jacking
Russinas investigate
Guy in Florida- I don't really know.
Mutt, would you rather
1)
know LESS truth, 'cuz nothing much you can do about it anyway
2)
see yourself and the rest of the country panic about things they can really do nothing about?

what does everybody think of the guy in Florida dying of Anthrax? And the Russian plane exploding? And the Greyhound bus hijacking?
How did that Indian plane hijacking end up?
I don't know where I stand but alot of people seem to think the government is keeping the truth about some of this stuff from us so everybody doesn't panic.

Trafficcash is kicking ass today. 1/200 for the period, and the clicks are following my own out count. I could rarely convert TC in the past, so this is truly amazing.

Mariners are an incredible story Todd. Lost three first ballot Hall of Famers and are going to set a record for wins this season.
Any word up there about Pat Gillick coming back to Toronto?
well at least you didn't leave out my Seahawks!!!!! :)
Don't forget tonight's mariners game guy and gals, if we win, then we will have the most wins ever in the AL in 1 season. If we win this game, and the last 2 with Texas, we will have the most ever in 1 season in MLB:))

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP! DOH DOH DOH! NFL PICKEM WAS MISSING ARIZONA/PHILADELPHIA GAME! IF U SELECTED EARLY THIS WEEK GO BACK BEFORE SUNDAY AND MAKE A PICK IN THAT GAME!!!
I won't argue, if MaxCash itself says it's hype-
than it's HYPE!
thank you every much, you made your case!
********************************
Take out your dictionary, Serge :)
Hype can mean "stepped up advertising or marketing" :)
Only those with negative minds put negative spins on the word !
Maybe I'm a moron (I probably am), but all I know is I'm making money with Trafficcash, ARS, AdWealth and Profit Plantation, I ain't doin' it with others. What it comes down to, is the money I take in. Chalk it up to my stupidity, my traffic, the weather, whatever, that's how it lays.
And frankly, I'm set to make more money with my costume shop than anything this month!
Love to you all. Careful of dairy products, Serge, which is important after the stones (not the kind with Eddie and Patsy, or whomever those two guys are).
Stop! Don't you all know that Listings inc. is the Hope Diamond of the Internet world! Whoever comes into contact with it is CURSED! You are doomed! WE ARE ALL DOOMED! Listings inc. is the reason for the dot com crash of 2001!
God have mercy on us all. We are all going to die die die!
Except for Serge. Everyone knows Russians decided to never die again if they lived through Stalingrad.
