Duncun, My mistake. I was pretty sure the alligators couldn't be right, but hey. As for giving terrorist ideas, I just don't think so. There is very little that any of us could think up that either they haven't already or isn't feasible. As an example I will absolutely use the 911 attack. The only people who actually considered the Jet-Bomb were the terrorists and authors. So everyone needs to lighten up just a bit. The perpetual living in fear isn't accomplishing a damn thing.

kneweyes posted this :and I don't know if your paid or not to be on these boards. I know I'm not, and I always wondered why people put so much time into something they claim NOT to believe. in the same respect I have wondered too on both sides, I've been posting for a longtime and find that in this forum and others participants rarely speak to each other about the issue and more often than not are attempting to make statements proving and or describing their claims, and simply kneweyes that's why debunkers exist...everywhere in and on all topics....someone's going to have a different view...and of course all have mastered solitare...by now.... btw txp...by all means let's lighten up...the bubonic plague and small pox have not hit the fan yet...so let's party while we can... (disclaimer for the sensetive) fact is it could happen, and we should enjoy the time we have... T/S

Exactly T/S. Might as well live it up.For those of you who don't know, we only have roughly 8 million 30 year old smallpox vaccines and there is no vaccine for the plague. So, and this will sound alarmist, should those become active means of bioterrorism in the states we might as will resort to panic and prayer, and kiss our a**es goodbye.

Think about it--since September 11, how many people have died in auto accidents? How many people have died of cancer?We encounter the possibility of death every day. There is no way we can eliminate our risks completely, but we can minimize them. What is different is that we didn't used to have to consider anthrax, smallpox and the plague in our risk calculations. But now we do. Learn what you can about how they can be transmitted and how they can be treated. Take reasonable precautions. Americans don't sit home immobilized by the possibility that they might get into a fatal car accident or that they might do something to cause them to get cancer. They consider the risks, take reasonable preventive measures, and they get on with their lives. Now, sadly, Americans must learn to use those same sorts of strategies to deal with the possibility of being infected with anthrax, smallpox, and the plague.

A little fear is a good thing...it keeps you cautious and "alert"...that's what adrenaline is for....Too much fear is a bad thing, because it makes you "loose your edge"!! Balance is the thing...stupidity and apathy is not! Some of us can go into "denial" all we want and hope for a return to the way it was and "business as usual" but terrorism on our own shores changed that forever and too think it hasn't is fool hearty and even dangerous. We should enjoy our families and friends more and seek out nature more and appreciate what beauty and decency there is left in life...no one is suggesting to just give up and give in....but just ignoring the recent horror and just buying and partying til we drop and forgetting about the WTC victims and their families is stupid and cruel. Sure, we should learn to appreciate and cherish what we hold dear, our loved-ones and such even more then ever...that would be a good response, something "positive" to come out of this horror....but to just wrap ourselves in our own world of partying, denial, and spending sprees is going "too far off the pendulum" of balance. American business is already on the way to trouble and the stock market as well and may have actually been in the process "before" the WTC tragedy.

Rumor has it that this memo recently circulated thur the offices of our friendly "good old boy" debunker.It is also rumored that this debunker is a BROTHER of sorts to Thermit ? Subject: Cell Members Taken Into Custody We've been notified by Security that four suspected cell members have been working within our company. Three of the four suspects have been apprehended and identified as Bin Sleepin, Bin Loafin and Bin Drinkin. Security advised us they could find no one fitting the description of the fourth cell member, Bin Workin. Police are confident that anyone who looks like he's Bin Workin will be very easy to spot.
