2009 is coming to an end, quickly. So I have to hurry to get one last word in before time expires. The "Underwear" bomber guy just tried his thing. Considering it was the government agencies that missed this, the Republican outcry is pretty funny. The government response is even funnier, punish the people that fly. It's like being in a class where the teacher screws up and they decide to punish the students.
So because some Nigerian loner wants to gain attention by killing some people, the screws get turned on those of us who simply want to fly from one place to the other.
So how come, when another loner, who wanted to gain attention for killing Americans actually killed Americans...there was no significant response from the government at all? A certainly no outcry from The Republicans.
Seung Hui Cho bought two semi-automatic handguns in 30 days and used them to kill 32 more people on a college campus than the "Underwear Bomber" did by setting his pants on fire.
Some of the Tea Baggers and Neo-Cons will say that "Gun Control" legislation was passed to toughen measures keeping the "diagnosed" mentally ill and convicted felons from purchasing guns, well whoop de do.
The most dangerous "terrorists", the ones most likely to kill Americans, live right here. And they have an arsenal of un-imaginable size at their disposal.
You want to be safe? Get on a plane. You want to worry about terrorists? Go any where else in the good ol' USA.
"We have met the enemy, and he is us" Pogo (look it up)
