Have a good one!:s4:
Just as a side note to this: How much of our freedom are we willing to give up for a false sense of security. You can't be protected entirely at all times no matter how much police presence is available, no matter how many draconian laws are enacted. Just remember Hitler and his Hitler youth where the kids were encouraged to rat on their parents or anything they saw out of place. We're not that far from that now, with CPS and the schools being ever more invasive into family affairs. What ever happened to the Family unit, where the family was the most important structure for the Kids and everyone in the family. If we lose that, we're doomed! You always need a place to come back to. When my mom died, I lost that feeling then realized it was now up to me to provide that for my kids and grandkids, so the family stays together. Family values, thats the real importance of living.Quote:

Actually it does say something about their intelligence. Look at it from a different point of view. Say, from a boxing point of view. You've got a guy who a decent fighter, not pro or anything but ok, and he wants a fight. He can choose either Mike Tyson or some kid who he can easily destroy. If he chooses the kid he would beat the crap out of him and folks would just say "oh well, what an ass, he should have picked on someone his own size". Instead though, he decides to go up against Tyson and gets the shit beat out of him. But a lot of people give him props for trying and he earns a lot of respect for doing it. Get it now???Quote:

I just stumbled across a story that caught my eye.
Entrapment issue raised in alleged Fort Dix terror plot - baltimoresun.com
Not to downplay the potential for attacks on our country, but why report every plot as deadly serious. This sounds all too similar to the terror plot in south Florida, where another bunch of wannabe's decided to play dress up and run around in plain sight "training for Jihad."
On a lighter note, I did notice the Homeland Security Threat Level was not publicly rased to OrangishRed or whatever the hightened state of alert is colored these days. In fact, what happened to that convenient color chart?
It doesnt surprise me one bit about the actions of the FBI its there job to catch the bad guy and if they have to help them in picking targets or getting guns then they will it does sound like entrapment but we dont know the whole story.If these guys are dumb enough to attack an army base then they might be dumb enough to have that idea planted in their head by someone else.But who knows? I think that color chart was put in place to scare the population during the last election so people would vote for Bush because he can protect you.Ever since the election you dont hear much about terror alerts anymore but then again the color chart did its job so its not needed anymore
