Sorry to be picky about this, but the word busses has been mis-used and misspelled since the government started transporting children to schools outside of their neighborhoods in the 60s.

Oooops.... :0 :)

No problem. I shoulda known better. I usually like to spell right [except when I'm emphasizing something..., grammar is another story]. Ya know, I took a second look at that word and said, "ummmm...." and let it go. Oh well...

AND THEN AGAIN, ask a "liberal" and he'll want to give the terrorists "busses" :) :)

No fault of yours. The word has been mis-used so often that probably 85% of Americans no longer no the correct spelling. Newspapers misspell it all the time. I was just correcting the record.

As far as liberals giving the terrorists "busses" - EEEEEWWWWWWWWWW! Yuck! Gag! Those hairy, slimy monsters? Certain liberals might, but I can assure you no self respecting Freeper female would give them a "buss"!

How about armed guards on all buses? They are very vulnerable to being hijacked, blown up, wrecked, used as bombs, and attacks by knife weilding maniacs. A well coordinated attack,(example: 20 hijacked simultaneously), would be a piece of cake. I am worried the hijackers may have been awakened (by this latest attack) to how easy this would be, and this incident could have gave them another idea. Although, yea, they probably already thought of this.

How about our school buses? This is my main concern.
