Rather thin ice to be treading then. One should hope that his handlers put a stop to him soonest. An invasion of Afganistan will likely as not result in a suitcase nuke becoming the next Manhattan Project.

Yeah, and women there might be able to earn a living selling bread in a year. Its not like the US won't stomache a few more body bags now. Osama forgot that: when you toast that many that fast, you can motivate incredible shit. Better to have boiled the frog slowly. Same goes for the latent rights-raping scum in Congress. They better not try cooking the frog. The futures options on trinitite in Afghanistan have seriously dropped...

Longtime fans would recognize that this was rent-seeking, one gang vs. another: the federal gang's ability to put 1e7 on O.B-L's noggin. vs. distributed anonymous (ie, citizen's AP) "Most Wanted" Monopolists *hate* competition, by definition. .... When they outlaw Bournouille's law, only birds will fly...

It would not be implausible to assume you were being monitored to see if you "run" with the seeded assassination memes, if only for analytical purposes. These matters are taken seriously by those charged with the care of protected persons. (Contrary to what some here would have you believe, subtlety can get you a much higher threat-rating than overtly threatening correspondence.) Jim is a fool though not a dangerous one. No one should consider implementing any betting pools till there is enough cover traffic from "legit" digital cash apps. If one were to be created this would be an ideal time and Ben Laden the ideal target.

You were NOT paying close enough attention during the election. "We" did not allow this sub-normal to become president. The Republican machine saw to it, unable to be thwarted by the Democratic machine. Neither of which have anything to do with "us." Our only hope is that his is an "assisted living" situation, surrounded by enough possibly more intelligent and experienced men and women to prevent the most heinous missteps. Hopefully the posturing that everyone is "shoulder to shoulder" and "fully behind" the President is only because that's what has to be said to keep the sheeple quiet, and not because that's what the huge and intentionally ponderous US Government machine really thinks. > How did you people ever allow this delusional sub-normal wacko >to become your leader?

Dear Internet User, The Dot Com era may be over, but an exciting new era on the Internet is about to begin. On October 01, 2001 a new top-level domain name extension called Dot Biz will be officially launched. As a member of the Internet community, you must pre-register your Dot Biz domain name as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as there will be tremendous rush from the general public once this new extension is reported in the mainstream media. We have now begun accepting pre-registrations for the .BIZ and other upcoming new domain extensions. This means that you can now pre-register for an attractive new domain name of your choice and significantly increase your chances of securing your domain name. If you missed out on .COM, here is your chance with .BIZ. If you do not act as soon as possible, you may unfortunately miss out on the biggest cyberspace land grab in the history of the Internet. The time to act is now. Visit: http://www.NewTopLevelExtensions.com to enter your domain names for pre-registration. Over 600,000 names have already been pre-registered in our servers by savvy consumers; however, this is just a small inkling of the expected demand on launch day...over 3 million domain names are expected to be registered immediately after the official launch. According to a July 02, 2001 ZDNET news article, industry analysts estimate that "15 million dot-biz names will be registered by 2005," thus making Dot Biz even more popular than Dot Com. An exciting new era is about to unfold on the Internet. Go to http://www.NewTopLevelExtensions.com to pre-register now. *************************************************************************** We strongly oppose the use of SPAM email and do not want anyone who does notwish to receive our mailings to receive them.

Catallaxy
by Jim Choate 13 Sep '01

13 Sep '01

Catalaxy (20th Century) Politics/Economics [1] A theory of a desirable society, set out by the Austrian economist and political theorist F. A. Hayek (1899-1992). A 'catallxy' is a market order without planned ends, characterized by the 'spontaneous order' which emerges when individuals pursue their own ends within a framework set by law and tradition. The function of government is to maintain the rule of law which guarantees fair and equal procedures, but is neutral as to goals. F. A.

New flight rules
by Dynamite Bob 13 Sep '01

13 Sep '01

Airlines would only be allowed to provide passengers with plastic knives and butter knives to eat their meals, an FAA spokesman said. http://sg.news.yahoo.com/010912/1/1fwyc.html Also: only crayons, no pens or pencils. All PDAs, with their sharp styli and brittle glass displays, will be replaced with Etch-a-Sketch toys. Also all fingernails must be trimmed to 2mm past the fingerpad, this must be done before passing through security as nailclippers with nailfiles will not be permitted on board, either. Good thing none of the Martyr Airlines dudes shorted out their laptop batteries to make a diversion... ...... Jeezus guys, get a clue. You can't pull the same stunt twice, whether its a 'normal' hijacking which turns out to be different (so much for passenger compliance..), or the latest social-engineering virus trick. The rubes *do* learn. The next time, its a bottle of Japanese Subway Perfume. Alas, a lot less eye candy with that.
