Rant, I could rant for hours on this one. While working as an operator at the phone company, we would look up and see police, etc., going through the room - turns out it would be a bomb scare, but heaven forbid they tell us! Long distance calls were a priority over our lives. I don't think about it often, but when I do, I still get angry and though I understand what Jamie is saying, and she does have a point, I prefer that the choice not be made for me by a mall employee or police officer. And you know how much I love all Apple. :cool: Marcias last blog post..Slow Progress Move me out first!

I'm in the "get outta my face" group. Now here is why. There are almost seven billion people on the face of the earth. Even on a really, really super bad day (no matter how CNN makes it sound) 200 folks at most bite the dust in a bombing. Now most of those 200 (remember this is a truly, super bad day not the norm) had to be somewhere where bombs are a fairly normal event. Guess what. I'm not in one of those places. An even such as 9/11 is catastrophic for only one reason: It is so rare as to almost stand alone historically in much the same way as man made actions like Pearl Harbor or the acts of god such as the great tsunamis and earthquakes. Reality is much more dangerous or as one of my favorite restaurants used to have on their menu: Closed on Sundays for love of God and fear of the freeway. You want to be a whole lot safer: Stop driving. I need the room on the road anyway.
