Well, I may be last, but I made the grade. Hooray!

Last, George, but definitely not least! :-)

bandwidths are wasted by the spew of these black-hearted individuals,
and how little they actually contribute to on-topic discussions.


Most of the posters you mention are demonstrably bigoted,
narrow-minded, and misguided. Their posts serve well to demonstrate
just how disconnected from reality some people can be. I am impressed
by the recent emergence of previously quite posters who, over the past
few days, have effectively refuted the inane ravings of a handful of
bigoted talking heads. Your voice of reason will be missed but I
understand your departure. It is indeed difficult to listen to the
inane mean-spirited ravings of bigots.

What are "quite" posters? Are they related to "quiet" posters? Does
that mean they type gently on the keys so as to keep the noise down?

Matt,


Go back and read the thread.



I did. I fail to see what relevant context I left out. You claimed the
Dept of Homeland Security has been succesful in preventing terrorist
attacks. I asked for proof.

Well, we haven't had an attack since 9/11 on American soil and there is
a fair bit of evidence that the terrorists haven't stopped trying. That
is effective enough for me.

How about you show some proof that they have been ineffective as you claim?

Yep -- we will definitely need T-shirts for OSH '06 that say:

"I was Kill-Filed by Tom Fleischman"

A true status symbol, if there ever was one!

Matt,

That
is effective enough for me.


Again, correlation is the key. Where do you see any proof for a
correlation between the lack of terrorist attacks and the work of the
authorities? There were no terrorist attacks for a long time before
9/11 - and no DHS either.

How long is long?

1993 World Trade Center in the US. 1997 Khobar Towers and 2000 USS Cole
outside the US.

Post the evidence that an attack has been thwarted. But for that, your
observation that there have been no terrorist attacks is as useless as
claiming that the sun rises each day because you ask it to. If body cavity
searches are mandated for air pax, you OK with that? Just curious.

We all should be willing to accept the government's word that attacks
have been thwarted. Public disclosure of how the intelligence was
gathered only helps the bad guys.

Ask anyone with a knee or hip prosthesis about what it takes to get
through airport security.

bigot - a term of insult used of Normans, apparently a Norman oath

How dare you! You French are so arrogant!

Godlike. I am always touched at the lack of presumption dislayed by those
who sit in judgement of others on Usenet.

Then cover your ears. And show these misguided souls the same mercy and
support you deem due to other misfortunistas. I can't wait to see the logic
employed to reconcile this.
