Subject: RE: AMERICAN ATTACKS- - -PART FOUR
Hmm. Things really seem to be getting hostile. Here, and in real life. I don't know about where you all live, but here in my small Minnesota town there are long lines of angry people at the gas stations, fistfights at those same gas stations, and people roaming the streets screaming at nothing. About a half hour ago, my father was threatened by baseball-wielding (and ski-mask wearing) teenagers who were pounding on his truck outside.

And here at Mudcat, there's people ranting like low-rent Mussolinis (I won't name names), and/or picking fights with their fellow Mudcatters...

You/we people (Not all of us, of course. You know who you are.) need to RELAX. Yes, today was awful. But you're helpless to change what happened. Any revenge on the terrorists or their 'host countries' will be empty, and will only inspire more terrorism. Things like this can and will happen again, and there's pretty much nothing you can do about it. Life is horrible, and you, me, and the USA aren't such badasses. If you cannot control your emotions, either go get medicated or stop typing. It's getting annoying, and you're going to regret it tomorrow. :)
