You are right. I never thought of it that way. I am going to change my panties and blow my brains out...

Or wait a minute. I think I have heard of a concept before. If I am going to go down I sure as hell will go down fighting. That is the choice that faced the passengers that took that plane down in Pennsylvania.

So how about being a friggin man and quit saying depressing, defeatist things. How about looking back on your heritage as an AMERICAN. Americans are not pussies, we are the worlds most prolific ass kickers. How about fighting for what you believe in.

I say this is a wake up call (yet another) for us all to reach down, grab a pair, and say "LET'S ROLL".

Sorry but I very peeved by this kind of talk.

You can be peeved by my post if you like; it's your right. I do all I feasibly can to fight liberalism and don't have to list my conservative credentials to you.

Just because I fight, however, doesn't mean that I don't have a brain to see the writing on the wall. As I originally asked, if you have a logical reason to prove my assertion wrong, why don't you present it? I don't mean a bunch of rah-rah macho sounding crap that's as worthless as teats on a boar hog; I mean a bona fide reason to think that things are going to get better instead of worse.

Very well said, according to William Stephenson author of "Cryptonomicon" "we are the most bad-ass virus that evolution has yet produced on the face of this planet." So let's go with that..... there's probably a reason we have evolved to be the most efficent killers, there's probably a pretty bad contender that needs eradicating for the good of the planet as a whole.... at least we are otherwise tolerant and benevolent!
