The common man is chiefly to be distinguished by his plentiful _lack_ of common sense: he believes things on evidence that is too scanty, or that distorts the plain facts, or that is full of non sequiturs. Common sense really involves making full use of _all_ the demonstrable evidence--and of nothing _but_ the demonstrable evidence. -- Henry Louis Mencken |

It was your elected government representatives who panicked, and used public mass hysteria to enact a lot of stupid restrictions on the American people in the name of strengthening security at the expense of untold billions of dollars flowing into the pockets of law enforcement agencies throughout the land. Cause -- and effect -- in a democratic country. No sense in railing against it. If you want to change it, get out the vote. We've been had by our own government politicians, in a far worse way than the terrorists could have accomplished with a thousand fuel laden airliners. While there is a grain of truth within your hyperbole, the fact remains that we are a democracy, and the majority of our elected representatives in Congress voted for the new restrictions. Characterizing this as "being had by our own politicians" is the same as saying "democracy sucks!" If you don't like it, get people to vote against it In the meantime, quit blaming the people for the actions of the terrorists. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

[{Bin Laden | our government} caused the restrictions...]
Cause -- and effect -- in a democratic country. If you don't like it, get people to vote against it In the meantime, quit blaming the people for the actions of the terrorists. Nobody's blaming "the people" for bringing down the towers. I am blaming "the people" for bringing down the constitution.
