Response to V Tech tragedy -
An amateur astronomer wrote upon hearing of this tragedy,
quote: "Don't know anyone at V Tech. Don't know why the events there should have any significance for me. Worse things happen daily in places I'm at home in to people I've known for decades. My former _______ died (last week). A man I greatly admired. Lots of other people feel the same way. It's closer to home and many times more personal than V Tech." I guess we should thank the distinguished amateur for his honesty and take his advice. And mind our own business! |

And what's the big deal with the September 11, 2001 incident? After all, more people died in traffic accidents in September 2001 than in the terrorist incident. And I didn't know anyone killed on 9-11-2001. So -- whats the big deal -- why all this ****ing and moaning about 9-11??? |

How do we stop traffic accidents entirely, except by banning cars? We are doing what we can to make the roads safer. The deaths due to terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 were over and above the number of deaths that should have normally happened on that day. They were murders. And the masterminds behind those murders are still on the loose. Plotting to kill thousands more people, millions if they can. No one is safe. We have a single point of hazard - al-Qaeda and anti-American Islamic fanaticism in general. This new additional risk to our lives needs to be swiftly eradicated before it can become well-established and hard to remove. When it comes to the Virginia Tech incident, sadly, people do go crazy from time to time. We can't stop people from going crazy, even if we might be able to make it harder for crazy people to get their hands on guns without compromising the Second Amendment rights of ordinary Americans.

Now we have to carry your deadbeat ass on welfare and starve 50 families to keep you happy so you wont go out and kidnap some kid or beat up your wife, or drive an airplane into a building! That's the big deal. |
