Also, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to request that there be no bombs dropped on the Emerald Triangle. Thank you.

Indeed. We try to learn as much as we can about serial killers, not because we want to invite them to dinner, but because with more knowledge and understanding, maybe we can reduce the risk and save someone's life.

A better understanding of the enemy is never a bad thing, no matter how many conservatives try to paint it as some forgiving gesture.

Yeah, there'd be news about Barstow, but who cares about Barstow? :D

And then people might say, 'Well this government is bombing California because they were bombed by Arizona by people who actually came from Texas. Why don't they investigate Texas more?' And the rest of the world would say, 'It's because of their oil, stupid.' And meanwhile, Arizona's terrorist leader, Janet Napolitano, has still not been found... but we think she's in Carlsbad Caverns somewhere...
:D

Except for the 500 or so older shells that were found that were supposedly destroyed....

We can play the hypothetical CA scenario all day, and all we do is end up rehashing the same arguments over and over with Sacramento and CA substituted for Baghdad and Iraq.

Yet still not the smoking gun that would justify killing thousands of California civillians.
Doy, that's the point. The media wants to show us what's going on in LA, SF and Sacto not show us the newest ride opening at Disneyland...

I don't see it as a forgiving....I think we have a pretty good understanding of them already.

A point of agreement!

Sorry, that came off harsher than intended. Forgive my lack of smilies. Though I will say that the "I know you're a bunch of liberals" preface is pointless and a convenient way to pre-dismiss any response to you. Just have the balls to state your opinion, don't make excuses and don't start straight-off with dismissive lables. But anyway, not as big a deal as my post made it sound.

Knowledge is power.

even if it was accurate? ;)
