It may have been a homeless person with motion sickness.

Thank you very kindly. If my old man were here today, I think he'd be a Freeper, too.

Maybe those of us who actually live here are sick and tired of those who know nothing about this city trying to scare us by declaring every single crime and accident as being terrorism.

The very fact that nobody knows if it's terrorism means that it's not -- terrorists aren't vague and nuanced, and they like to kill people, not just disrupt subway service on one branch.

"I don't know where on W.77th you're headed, but the 1 or 9 trains (Seventh Ave. local) should take you to 79th @ Broadway."

I'm headed to the block on the west side of Central Park - not far from the Museum of Natural History. Thanks, guys.

I know nothing about your city? You've got to be kidding.
I was born in NYC 6 decades ago, and lived there for half my lifetime.

I know every subway line, and have nephews who work for NYPD, FDNY, and the Transit Authority.

One of my cousins with FDNY laid down his life in 9-11 trying heroically to extract people from an elevator at WTC.

Most New Yorkers, whether native-born or imports, are lovely people.

Then there are the snotty, know-it-all, pretentious bitches like you.

Hey, you're a real classy guy! Does it make you feel like a man to namecall and curse at a woman?

You *may* know something about the subways here, but you obviously don't know the difference between a terrorist attack and a nuisance fire on the tracks, thanks to bums. You also don't seem to understand that terrorists *attack* -- they don't pull pranks. And setting a fire in the subway tunnels on a Sunday afternoon is a nuisance -- something that could be done as a prank, not a deadly attack. Bombing the World Trade Center was terrorist attacks. Blowing up Fraunces Tavern was a terrorist attack. Sheesh.

the wall street journal print edition had an excellent editorial on this today!

if there ever were an argument against the democrats, their unions, and their public employees destroying the public good, this is it.
