I am SURE the Dinosaurs would have been happy to sue their way to species survival, too. I am pretty sure that would not be in the best interest of Homeland Defense, yes?
Adapt or Die. You expect me to as the job environment changes, and feel no sympathy. Why is there shock that I feel none for them?

The whole open port on the internal firewall thing. Minor inconvenience we have to live with, firewalling.

Hey Now... Just because your car company doesn't have a back door to update your engine is no reason to get bent out of shape.
After all, according to the EULA, you only rent it for a one time fee and a monthly cost of PITA, right? ;-)

With one Caveat:
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Now, here I have to correct you.
Most of these terrorists are actually Middle-class, literate people. Not wealthy, no, but they are certainly not without options.
Moving to a more prosperous place, one less violent IS a choice, also.
One they choose not to take.
Sam Kinnison once said about the Ethiopians, and while it is harsh, it is true.
What is this, pantomiming scooping up the soil
SAND
What will it be in a thousand years?

If the conditions are horrific, change them. If you can't, change the location. I live in Oklahoma. When the dustbowl destroyed this area, most people moved.

I agree that it is sad in one respect, that a human lost their life.
That they chose this makes it different.

Terrorists will like the convenient packaging.

Yeah, you think it does sound familiar? Me too.Rather Orwellian. 1984ish. Scary, but that is the truth. What used to be encouraged and thought the epitome of our ability is now a scary and dangerous thing We have given the Terrorists so much power, instead of doing as you do with ANY child, isolate and ignore. Sure, they do bad things. Spank 'em and be done. Don't tell me I can't be genuinely curious about something and then want to pull a gun because I want a reasonable explanation. Ok, my sopabox is put away. Sorry.

Why is a stud horse called Stud Service?
Do I really need to define the 7 letter replacement for a popular four letter word? 8-)
