Why there has been NO WHISPER OF THIS CASE UNTIL SOMEONE DIED TO PIN IT ON? For seven years it has been like it never happened. "There have been no attacks since 9/11" was the popular rallying cry. A bad dime store mystery novel writer could come up with a more plausible plot than this. I just hope some eyes have been opened.

1. No. I don't think people in the real world wonder much of anything.
To be fair, they're consumed by their economic fears right now. They don't care what the government is or isn't doing, unless they see a direct correlation between Govt and their wallets.

2. Oh believe me I feel that
But even at my most apathetic I think I'd have been like "huh?"

5. There's a difference between your apathy.
and their disinterest.

You're here, they're not.

6. I think the main problem is that they AREN'T in the real world. They are in FearWorld.
They are scared of terrorists and liberals and economic crises and market instability and blah blah blah....there isn't any room for pondering the convenience of the Anthrax guy committing suicide.
