This business in Boston today just goes to show how easy it would be.

How easy it would be to shut down the whole damn Country.

I guarantee you that I could take 20 guys and shut down the six busiest airports in the Country.

And then we could shut down the Christmas Season.

And cancel NCAA Bowl Games.

Then, we could stop the Super Bowl.

All that between Thanksgiving and late January/early February.

And the only real damage done would be economic and emotional.

It would take years for the economy to recover.

We have become Chickens**t Nation.

Fear is, by far, the easiest emotion to stimulate.

And scared people are the weakest animals on the Planet.

It would be so easy.

1. "We have become Chickens**t Nation"

Amen and hallelujah. After the Madrid train bombings, people were using the Atocha Station the next day. And they didn't put the country on Gestapo lockdown either. I agree wholeheartedly.

5. The corporate media and BushCo are the catalysts

Exploitation of fear is ruining this country. Mission fucking accomplished.

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Sadly, we have learned to fear fear itself rather than get a grip on real threats. n/t

3. We the Sheeple

We need to do an intervention and break the FEAR pushers that are pumping it into the veins of our country.

4. I agree.

"Fear is the mind-killer." More accurate than it had a right to be.

I agree that it would be easy to shut the country down without doing any actual damage. The same thing would happen if you could somehow get rid of MSM overnight, have people actually have to talk to one another and think for themselves again....

6. It also shows you can hang things up and have them be disregarded 2-3 wks.

That is another thing it shows. IF these looked so dangerous, why were they allowed to remain in place 2-3 wks in 10+ cities?

8. From what I understand, the local channel had someone phone in.

They alerted the police because the "packages" had not been detected.

[uppityperson]

9. Not detected by the police?

These have been up 2-3 wks in over 10 cities. WTF HAVEN'T the police noticed them, if they looked so dangerous? Did no one else think to report them? Did no police notice them? Were they just disregarded? Were they noticed and everyone else, up until today said "meh"?

7. 'home of the brave!'

what a fucking joke.

[Edweird]

10. Pay attention to boston

not what's going in the white house.or iraq.or iran. terra terra terra!

11. We have lost all connection with reality
