Bombs Explode In Rural Mailboxes

[MrFun]

paiktis22, fine -- stick with that more unfair definition. Try to talk with a widow or widower of a New York resident who died in the 9/11 attack.

Try to tell that widow or widower that he or she was not a victim of a terrorist attack, in spite of their suffering.

Holy sh*t, thanks for posting this, I have relatives in Farley!

Farley?? As in the small rural town in eastern Iowa in Dubuque county??

I am from a small town called Holy Cross, which is 30 miles west of the city of Dubuque.

Is this what you mean by Farley??

MrFun, you are being irritably PC and self righteous I have to say.
Making big issues of things that are not.
All are victims yadda yadda yadda.
Yes of course I agree.
Never said anything different.
There happy?

Ok, consider me to be satisfied now.

Ok, maybe I was being too philosophical about the concept of victim?

David have you been drinking again?

Maybe the end of semester alcohol prompted David to live out his libertarian fantasies...

Hey that's BS! I'm a paranoid white who latches onto scapegoats to explain my drinking and employment failures and I'm not bombing mailboxes. Guess again. gotta be a different reason.

He's gonna find out exactly what anarchy feels like when he's being cornholed in jail...

I think you're making a moutain out of a molehill. I doubt this is so much the work of a white supremacy group as it is the work of bored teens or young adults. Does no one remember tales of kids putting M-80s and cherry bombs in mailboxes?


I still think they need to go to juvie or jail, but let's not get worked up into a frenzy. Heck, even in the rural MidWest, there are better ways to be a terrorist.

I'm not turning this into 9-11 the sequel. But that is the kind of crap that can get people killed. You know children do open mailboxes from time to time.

I'm not saying it isn't serious, but I'm not so sure it's news worthy. Murder is serious, but were we to discuss ever one, we'd be overwhelmed in no time. This seems to be more a case of news sensationalism than something we need to take very seriously outside the region.

There is an interesting heinlien novella, Coventry, about a libertarian guy who goes off to live in a compound for people who can't handle modern society. He learns that things aren't so rosy in the anarchist's world, either...

BTW, it's a good thing you changed that avatar. I told some old SF fans about this board. They thought you must be a girl with that kitty avatar.

Read it. Not a big fan of Heinlein, though. Just harps on and on about same ideology...

That's fine by me. I'm changing back as soon as Eli takes down his anti-UN avatar, which MarkL (whatever his name is now) was gracious enough to do with his burning Israeli flag avatar.

Oh, and on same theme as "Coventry", there was a story written by Niven(?) called "Cloak of Anarchy", IIRC.

Well to be fair, everything in America is newsworthy Case in point is the panty inspection at the local prom in California. If that gets on the news, you know bombs in mailboxes will

[chequita guevara]

You gots a point there.

Just in case things outside of America are important too ( ), there are reports that a ferry carrying 400 passengers has gone down along with most aboard in Bangladesh.
