No boom today. Four days to go.
Am I the only one here who feels like they're gonna be walking barefoot on glass until the weekend is over?

Damn, I'm glad those loose nukes got leaked. That little unacknowledged act of patriotism may have saved many thousands of lives- at least for now.

1. Agreed. It was the act of a true Patriot.
We may never know who-
but may we always remember why.

3. I'm not rattled either.
I AM wise enough to know to step carefully, even if only mentally, for a while.

It can't hurt.

5. One must always watch where one steps now.
Our trust & faith in our nation have been destroyed. We now live in paranoia that we at any time might endure an "attack". It has polarized our nation against ourselves & other countries around the world.
Sadly,I may never truly feel SAFE again.

7. Oh, BS! I wasn't afraid on 9/11/01 nor since! I figure, what ever is going to happen will
happen, and since I can't change it, I'm sure as hell not going to worry about it. You want to live in fear all the time, then that's your right.

8. I'm completely relaxed.
I'm not afraid, because I know nothing is going to happen. 9/11 was a one-in-a-million combination of surprise, luck on the part of the hijackers, and incompetance on the part of the government.

As for the nukes on the B-52, I advise everybody to loosen the tin-foil hats.

10. Tinfoil Doesn't Help For That Kind of Radiation Anyway
So what DID happen with those nukes? The official explanation has more holes than


Was someone getting ready to :nuke: and someone else blew the whistle?

Did someone order up a :nuke: and someone else countermanded the order?

Is the official explanation actually true, in which case the people taking care of our nukes are so incompetent that AQ could probably just walk off with a couple if they tried?

9. I live and work in NYC.
You just kind of accept the danger as a reality, be prepared and aware, and go on with your life. Fear is not really helpful.

11. Think about who's trying to make you scared. Then ask yourself
Should I let them control me that way?
