Hey, repeating something 1000x times doesn't make it less correct. Even if "everybody knows that quote anyway" (and I guess most do), it's still good to show you believe and support it. Like a bumpersticker. And in these confused days a lot of people have forgot that it still holds true:
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety
Your suggestion isn't bad though... hey, let's plaster BOTH all over the place!
Exactly. Makes you wonder if the folks in congress haven't thought of something utterly obvious like this? Makes you wonder if it's about terrorism at all.
"Of course it's about terrorism and defending liberty and democracy", you say. "It's fucking heartless to think this is some plot to handcuff us. Come on, thousands of innocent people DIED in the WTC, we've got to DO something, QUICK!"
Right now, I'm not worried about terrorism at all.
"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future."
Adolf Hitler, 1935
You see, even IF there was complete security, this isn't a good thing, as long as the govermnent isn't really democratic (look it up, there IS no democracy on planet earth... it's representative democracies, which is an oxymoron). Because your safety always depends on the govermnent not to screw you over.
So I'm asking you, do you feel lucky?
Americans and Europeans (me being german, and for me being the answer a "no", and a very resounding one after the things I heard our politicians say in the last 2 days), do you trust your governments completely, blindly, and does that "no time for criticism now, we have to stand together as the civilized nations of the free world, we'll do what we have to do (and we'll tell you what that is when it's already underway)" help to increase that trust?
Not sure if this was the wedge that is currently under renovation or not.
It was. At least I know the airplane approached from that side, because the reporter on german tv considered this the main reason the plane could slip through the defense in the first place. He also said that there was no real damage compared to the WTC.
Why? You have problems with DEATH?. Tell you what, people DIE every day, LIFEFORMS DIE every day. DEATH is a pretty common thing, and LIFE would be meaningless without DEATH. So your denial regarding DEATH and PAIN also negates LIFE at the same time.
And nevermind DEATH, LIFE also gets BORN all the time.
Let's celebrate the LIVES of the victims, not mourn their DEATHS.
The nice thing about goal-lessness is that you can define your own goals. Of course you can also do this with goal-based games (complete as fast as possible, play with one hand behind the back etc... I remember playing Mario Bros on the NES with keeping the 'right' and 'run' buttons pressed... we didn't get far, but it was fun alright), but when goal-lessness is part of the game design, it usually works better.
If you like not having your goals handed to you by someone else, that is.

Replace "marketing" with "propaganda" and your post still makes 100% sense:)
Yep. Please tell me, cause it seems like we'll have a clear(ish) sky in Gay Motherfucker Land, and there isn't anything more romantic than watching meteors with your stud, is there?

corrupt leaders. These people will never contribute to the growth of the planet.
The Bush family comes to mind...

He doesn't work for free, he's just not charging for everything he does. There's more than black and white, the rumour goes.
