Reply #70: Honestly, living in your foo-foo world of lemon drops and candy canes [View All]

is the creepiest thing of all. Airport security IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Why did 9/11 happen? Because 19 fucking lunatics exploited the weaknesses of airport security and slammed 3 out of 4 airplanes into major American structures. NOT the 25 million citizens of Iraq, NOT the millions of Arab-American muslims, NOT the millions of Afgans and NOT the millions other muslims throughout. It was 19 nut cases with several hundred to thousand diehard supporters. Which at any time are looking for the cracks, the holes and the weaknesses. So, go live in your fucking foo-foo powdered donut lollipop fantasty world where bombing the living shit out of Iraq with daily updates of "terrorists raids" and "snipers shot dead" bullshit. There are tons of people that hate America, for exploited their citizens for cheap labor in sweat shops and farms throughout the US and the world. For demanding countries to be democratic and then supporting some of the most ruthless and diabolical people ever in order to exploit the wealth of that country like say, Bolivia.
If don't make even the most half hearted attempt at trying to become energy self sufficient, we'll be at war with everbody for decades to come until some genius comes up with an energy source to replace oil. You've heard before, again and again, we're running out of oil, we're running out of oil and we will someday soon and well before that demand will puch prices through the roof. The world consumes 77million barrels per day. The best estimates for known world reserves are 2-3trillion barrels so let's estimate high, 5 trillion, we'll use up by the end of the century.

So, I wouldn't worry so much about a kid who smuggled some box cutters on a couple of airplanes. He should've taken the blades out, he could've still made his point. But he probably did us all a favor. The lunatics are out there biding their time and we dump billions of dollars of precious resources into Iraq.
