the old spell checker argument surfaces, the last refuge of the thoroughly defeated.
when I start ranting, I typically don't concentrate on my spelling until the end, regrettably I forgot to run the "Check Spelling" utility before submitting it.
A 1000 apologies people. My poor spelling and grammer has proven ratboy's case of a vast-right-wing 911 conspiracy. I'm backing my bags and moving to bermuda.
Quote from ratboy88:
actually, citing penn and teller was the biggest red flag.... i liked your creativity regarding "torchering."
penn and teller are for the dumbed down masses, similar to the amazing randi and to a different degree... richard dawkins. penn/teller appeal to the "wrestling" crowd..no offense.:eek:
Quote from Avid_Consumer:
...but...
there were numerous concerted efforts by multiple officials to bring the threat directly to the president's and administration's attention. is it possible the bush administration simply had political incentives not to intervene? there are some very unambiguous examples of this hypothetical motive
what precludes this possibility other than faith in the integrity of the bush whitehouse and human nature? it has almost no moving parts, no vast conspiracies. not more required than playing dumb and looking largely the other way
Quote from neophyte321:
Do you honestly think the country would have tolerated today's airport screenings and the Patriot Act pre-911? The fact is, unless we turn into a closed country, there is virtually no way to stop a similiar attack even today.
