OT: still idiots

The USA not only lost the war on "terrorism", but went over to the other side, the day that the Washington, DC bureaucrats started strip-searching American citizens.

Today, the airports; tomorrow, your bedroom! =3D:-O

Thanks, Rich

And if your name happens to be on the "no fly" list, even an 8 year old boy scout gets detained while real threats waltz through:

Of course, we also give terrorists another armload of ammo everytime someone fills up their gas guzzler or wastes energy in other ways. Our greed, lethargy, and arrogance are financing our own destruction...

Well,the econutz don't want to drill in ANWR(the most barren part of it,too),or the Gulf of Mexico,but China is going to drill in the Gulf for Cuba. They'll pump the same oil strata we would have tapped.

the econutz would rather we imported foreign oil and the higher risk of tanker accidents.

The upside is that we're buying oil with dollars and the oil countries are buying T-bills with those same dollars, which we'll inflate so much that the T-bills become almost worthless, so the oil is almost free. And we're leaving our own oil in the ground for when we really need it, after they run out.

This has nothing to do with ecology. This is actually clever policy of using oil from dushmans till depletion and keeping reserves for the bad day.

It may also miss perchlorates then and possibly picrates (NO2 vs NO3).

People go bankrupt, but then people aren't allowed to print money.

"The proud boast of Lower Merrion School District in Philadelphia is that it gives every one of their 1,800 high-schoolers laptop computers, to "ensure that all students have 24/7 access to school-based resources."

The catch ? which isn?t even mentioned in the small print ? is that whilst pupils are watching their laptops, their school may be watching them."
