![]() "Morgans" wrote in message ... They remind me of all of the conspiracy theorists, in a way. Something like all the POTUS is trying to do is ruin their (and as many other's) day. So sorry; life is not fair, but I believe as you do, that a dead president at the hands of an assassin would not be a "good thing" for the country. The problem is when one POTUS comes to town and shakes everybody's hand, and the next one comes to town in secret or locks himself away from the public so that only $X-contributors can see him. It gives the perception that one is either wildly unpopular or a coward. Mainly, my criticism is when they arrive DURING rush hour, and it's not just Bush. Al Gore has done the same thing on at least two difference occasions since he left the VP office. I don't see how he rates. (When Bob Dole came to town several years ago he saw the Evergreen B-17 parked near the hangar and made security and staff stop what they were doing so he could go tour the airplane and talk to the volunteers. Now there's a good man!) -c |

So sorry; life is not fair, but I believe as you do, that a dead president at the hands of an assassin would not be a "good thing" for the country. Kind of depends upon who the dead president is and who the replacement might be. Unfortunately, unless the assassin manages to take out the VP also, you just get a continuation of the previous president's political party's policies. If by some perversion of fate, Hillary does somehow manage to get elected, I have to say that I would definitely celebrate her being assasinated -- especially if Bill managed to be taken out with her. Well, at least until whichever bozo takes her place takes office. |

On Aug 30, 5:56 pm, Mxsmanic blabbed the
following stupidity & ignorance: Because your deity was gracious enough to permit it? He's paranoid, and apparently it's contagious. Emergencies always take precedence over everything. You must watch a lot of movies. Can you imagine the headlines? ... FAMILY OF FOUR KILLED BY BUSH SECURITY AFTER DECLARING EMERGENCY IN PRIVATE PLANE Yes, that would go over _real_ well. Is that how you defend your freedoms? By dismissing any discussion of them that becomes complex? Don't be surprised if you wake up one day and they are gone. You, my friend, seem to have little room for using the word "complex." You know, I am fairly new to this group but I have been in Usenet for a long, long time (probably before you were born from the way you talk). One of the positive aspects of Usenet is the ability to express oneself in an unmoderated format, and in your case I certainly respect that freedom. However, in every Usenet group I've participated in there seems to be one or several who have little better to do than show their lack of intelligence, stupidity, immaturity, age (usually too young for mommy to allow them on the computer), and ignorance. These types believe they know a lot about everything and forcefully stick their asses in the face of just about anyone who's opinion, view, or take on reality differs from their own. I'm glad that in you I have found one more way to save my time, and that would be by giving you absolutely no more of it. Ricky |

"Ricky" wrote A few semesters ago some A&P students hopped the normally-open gate going to the hangar during a Bush arrival or departure, worried about missing lab. They were very quickly apprehended and detained, questioned for many hours and ultimately put on a terrorist watch list. Ahhh, once again, proving that in our youth, (and in the youth of today) we do not always stop to consider the implications of our activities. Still, that is a pretty good hit for them to take, but not completely (or even a little bit) surprising. One of the really unfortunate aspects of this incident was that two of these guys were in an internship offered to A&P students here by L3 Communications. L3 in Waco does almost exclusively modifications on military aircraft (lots of restoring of P3 Orions). Many maintenance students take advantage of this as L3 will pay your way through school in exchange for a 2 yr. contract to work for them after graduation. At L3 all employees are required to get varying levels of security clearance due to the secret nature of much of the work done to the military and government aircraft. Unfortunately, both of these students lost their internships due to the violation of the closed & locked gate and subsequent documentation on the terrorist watch list. Ricky |

But deadly force has never been used, has it? Typically walking through a gate (even a locked gate) or walking past someone in a dark suit is not a justification for the use of deadly force. What were their names, and on what date did this occur? Do your mommy & daddy know you are on their computer? |
