It is 09.11.2001 all over again in the US
Why oh why do we have to be reminded year and again about the tragic events of 09.11.2001? The attacks resulted in less than 3,000 fatalities. One is 6.5 times more likely to be killed by excessive temperatures than by a terrorist attack. Cops are roughly 9 times more likely to kill you than terrorists. I know that thinking rationally is not a national sport, but as a country I think that once every decade is enough to commemorate 09.11.2001. One can call me Un-American, but I am not the one bringing up the greatest failure of national security on these shores up every year.In other Un-American news, that duck guy apparently spilled a bunch of nonsense to some other ultra-reactionary type, but you get no link. The self-aggrandizing duck plucker gets no links to his god derived bullshit. Let us face a very puzzling fact about this or that god fellow. There has never been any independently verifiable evidence that even hints at "his" existence. Yet the cult of believers seems to go on undiminished. I will let you in a bit of what duck guy allegedly said... he said that AIDS among other things are this maddeningly difficult to pin down god bloke's revenge against homosexual behavior. If this is indeed true, why dopes god hate hemophiliacs, chimpanzees, hetero couples that happen to get AIDS, and other groups? Idiots gonna keep on bein' idiots.Is that duck show still on? I do not know. I am all for free speech, but I am not for error riddled free speech. Unfortunately, we have to take the bad with the worse in the USofA.
