Far be it for me to give simple minds any ideas, but didn't some deep thinking protestors douse themselves with gasoline and ignite themselves during the Viet Nam war?

Yes they did and I'll bet you could get some of these guys to do the same by telling them it would help their cause to do so --- easier than figuring out what their cause is.

So how is it that with the National Guard supposedly protecting the Golden Gate bridge, can
someone with a large banner climb over all the fences and restraints? What if he had been carrying
a bomb? Are we really supposed to believe that the Golden Gate is safe if terrorists should decide
to attack it?

Striving to be the lowest common denominator is probably not a good way to be, IMO.

Thanks, AM

Regardless of this man's lack of better judgement, someone in his family got "a phone call" today and it wasn't good news. Out of respect for his surviving family----

I only heard the first 2 nominees, the bridge guy was first and the second was the lock-up guy. Who was the third nominee?
