Reply #263: Clinton stopped it, Bush didn't, see the difference? QED, they're only

dangerous if we turn a blind eye to them!!

Since 9/11, nearly a quarter of a million Americans have been killed in automobile accidents. Over one hundred thousand, probably more, have been murdered by other Americans. According to statistics, over a quarter of a million Americans die as a result of negligence in US hopsitals each year. So, to put your terror in perspective, what should I be more afraid of, a bad driver I'm more likely to meet on a daily basis or a miserable terrorist with a box cutter who won't use it until he gets on a plane?

How about murder? In the scheme of things, looking at the stats again, to be really logical, and not frozen in fear by the terror tales of Bush and Co, should I be more worried about being murdered by the box cutter carrier, or another gun or knife toting US citizen who I'm far more likely to meet each day?

Get a grip, you're being terrorized and diverted from what you really should be paying attention to. If Osama is so dangerous, why on earth is he saying he can't do anything until he 'puts certain things in place'?? HUH?? Not very imaginitive, is he? Or maybe, not very dangerous?

Go ahead and shiver in fear if you wish. Don't expect the rest of us less easily terrorized individuals to go along for the terror ride.

Oh, and btw, the number of dead from 9/11 was downgraded to less than 2,000. A huge number, but not much different, and perhaps way less, than the number of Americans Bush left to die on television in front of all of our eyes.

Cower in fear if you will, we're all going to die sooner or later, but don't expect us to allow your irrational and illogical fears to cost us our civil rights.

And try not to go through life being terrified. A plane could fall out of the sky any day on your car or home, but until it does, try to enjoy life, and try to remain free to do so. You really are falling for the old 'you're all going to die if we don't protect you' garbage!! It's a great world, despite all the mayhem, and Bush and co, are just using your propensity to be easily frightened for their own political purposes. Some of us are a little more difficult to terrorize, either by Bush or Binforgotten-until-Bush-is-in-trouble!!

What a load of hogwash that tape was. Bin Laden can't launch an attack because it takes time??? Why? :rofl:

These federal fairy tales are getting more and more ridiculous every day, even if the guy really exists apart from being an old family Bush friend!

Oh, and don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. My neighbor was killed on 9/11. But my husband was killed in a motorcycle accident. They're both equally dead, I grieve for them both, but I will not live in the state of fear you have chosen to live in! I feel sorry for you.
