True, but it was more a matter of the WTC as a major *symbol*, whereas Yale isn't a symbol of anything that I can think of right now.

It's just like how the Pentagon was hit because it's THE most significant symbol of our military might, and hitting, say, the Agriculture Dept. or the Education Dept. wouldn't have had the same ...pardon the awful pun... bang for the buck.

Ummm. They were trying to simultaniously take out our ecconomy, military and (with Flt93) government...

That was the Bath school bombing. Not only did Kehoe blow up the school, he did a classic follow-on terrorist explosion by driving his truck packed with dynamite and nails onto the site after the townspeople had gathered to try to rescue the kids.

The Bath School Disaster

Final death toll was 44, mostly children, but also the school superintendent, the postmaster, and several other adults.

Historically, the psychological profile of a student who harbors a violent grudge against his or her school would, if to choose action, use a small weapon vs. a bomb that destroys an entire floor of the building. That's what it is, according to Yale: a small weapon that caused little damage outside the empty classroom, no injuries.

Not sure what you are implying, but I am/was a natural blonde. Had white blonde at birth, and as I age, it is getting darker. Now people would classify my hair as light brown. Jenna has a similar hair color to what I had at her age.

At least back when I had to deal with them (in the 80s), the Postal Inspectors were NOT people you would want on your case if you were a criminal who had sent something through the mail. They are very, very sharp, and if this was a mail bomb they are the folks you want to investigate it.

I agree with you. Barbara is better looking -- by far. I wonder why Larry Flynt offered Jenna the $10,000,000 (I don't read the magazine, by the way, it's something I saw on the web a while back). Flynt's tactics disgust me.

"Latent defects in materials, rot, poor workmanship.

Personally I would bet on the stability of something built in the 30's instead of the new garbage they have been building for the last 20 years or so. Most new homes are no more then clapboard with a few nails.
