Here's where you're wrong. Common sense security increases could have made a difference. The FAA, and the Federal Government weren't, and frankly still aren't interested in that.

If more people shopped with their conscience before their pocketbook, Wal*Mart probably wouldn't do as well as it does. This is a situation just like a McDonald's. People who work there, possibly for lack of a better opportunity, seek to get their working conditions and salary bettered. By organizing, their barganing power increases. By turning their back on unions, large corporations show that they don't care about the asset that is the cause of their profits to begin with. People.

I'm not blaming anyone or anybody actually. Reading the article, though, it just continues to blow my mind how the US government had been so complacent and ignorant to the imminent threat of terror attacks.

Yeah, its built from the riff.

fan of Carl Rowe? Or Karl Rove?

Well, yes. But AD airs after the Simpsons every week and still gets mediocre ratings. Unfortunately, it's hardly been on this season it seems. They've had like eight episodes at most?

MSG carried I, Max. And a lot of FSN stuff.

Wasn't Paul Lynde the Great Gazoo anyway?

Your Overheard in NYC moment for the day:

Canned Heat by Jamiroquai. It's awesome.

Next time I go to England, I'm wearing a cup. Just in case.

It looks like he's about to Doo. If you know what I mean.

Heh. The Van Craze.

Til China and India come around.

It's all part of my agenda. Stage one: Love the French Again. Stage two: ? Stage three: Profit!

7 times out of 10, I agree with you. I'll even agree that France and Russia had economic interests in a Saddam Hussein led Iraq, however - that being said, Russia and the US met and Putin made that very clear. If Russia thought they could have gotten one penny more out of Iraq reconstruction, they would have come to our side. But I think what we're seeing here is a fundamental switch in foreign policy by the Bush administration and that was seen with great alarm, and for good cause, around the world. The idea of pre-emptive war is a bit chilling. And I can honestly say that major powers, or in the case of France - former major powers, find this unsettling to the status quo of how things go on the part of the major players in the world. In a world where the big players need to be more stable, this as seen as a much more unpredictable switch.

Naked News!

I'd disagree that it was just one man. But its nice to see at least the announcement of a cease fire. Let's hope it will last beyond the first Hamas bombing.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 08:18 AM) And the US leads the world in giving as a country. Even as only 5% of the earths population, they lead the world in money given to charity. The US is always the first to respond to disaster, and rebuild countries after wars and famine. Does that mean they can use that to justify the crap they get into? The Catholic church gives an inordinate amount of money to charitable organizations, feeding much of the worlds poor, housing at least hundreds of thousands of orphans, and giving shelter to many homeless. Does that mean would exempt this organization from the sex scandals? Bill Gates leads one of the most ruthless monopolies in the world, yet gives billions of dollars out of his own pocket for causes around the world. He is doing everything from putting computers in classrooms, to preventing AIDS spread from mother to baby, to vaccinating 3rd world kids. Does that make Microsoft exempt from crushing smaller companies who don't follow their whims? The ends obviously doesn't justify the means. Last time I checked you weren't calling the US government ineffective, the Catholic Church Godless, or accusing Bill Gates of stomping puppies (couldn't really think of a good analogy for Microsoft, its early) because of the bad things they do. Yet you're making a judgment call about an entire multinational organization because of the actions of a few people on the take. I love how Oil For Food is now used as a justification after the fact of invasion, and used to explain why Russia and France were so hesitant to allow force involved. Because it neglects the fact that they were right this whole time. The weapons that the US thought were there simply were not there. And Russia and France didn't believe they were there. Last time I checked, Russia and France were right on that score.
