You've expressed your distaste with putting people in labelled groups before, so I missed it.

After reading ML's post yesterday morning, I turned on talk radio once I got mom in the car. Since it had happened in the waaaay early morning she hadn't heard anything about it. She was trying to figure out why daddy's paper hadn't been delivered yet. I do believe this qualified as a Stop The Presses moment.

You're right, I do find most people - at least on this board - to be a bit to complex to be pigeonholed into general camps. But, my comment was just me being sarcastic about my own distae rather than discussing it some more at length.

And now, back on topic:

TSA Requiring Travelers to Empty Bladders Before Boarding Planes -- BBSpot News
Quote:

Washington DC - Terrorists in London planned to use liquid bombs to destroy ten airplanes headed to the US from London's Heathrow airport. This has prompted the TSA to ban passengers from bringing on any sorts of liquids or gels including urine in passengers' bladders.

"All airline passengers must empty their bladders completely before boarding," said Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff in an announcement on Thursday. "Terrorists could drink contents of the bomb separately then put their streams together in the plane's bathroom to create an explosive. We just can't take that chance."

Back on topic in a serious fashion (though no offense to Andrew's comedy above)......

Terrorists are a cancer.

No one wants cancer.

Sometimes you think you have killed he cancer, and it comes back. Sometimes it goes into remission and goes dormant for a while, and then returns in some capacity.

Sometimes you can kill a cancer, sometimes you can't. The side effects of treatments to kill cancer are sometimes (usually?) horrible. However, if you do nothing about the cancer, it will win by default.

This is how I feel about terrorists and terrorist organizations. They must be hunted down and killed or they will grow and win.

Interesting analogy except that most cancer treatments don't give the cancer reason to spread.

Will tomorrow's lesson be about understanding the humor in winking smilies?:p

The cancer was spreading prior to any treatment.

Sorry but nowhere near the same rate. Our escapade into Iraq was a terrorist recruiter's wet dream.

When I had cancer they nuked it.
