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.

Yet.

When GP starts to talk about bombing, I get worried.

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.

I hope this doesn's sound insensitive,

but have you ever noticed that when a train or ferry or bus has an accident in a third world country, it's always some terribly high number of poeple that get killed. A train derails in the US and six people die with dozens hurt. A train derails in India and you have hundreds of deaths. Or you hear of a ferry capsizing and killing hundreds. what is up with that.

Less standard safety precautions and procedures??

[Promethus]

With the Ferries they are almost always old and in poor condition (would not be allowed to sail in NA or Europe). And they are ALLWAYS overloaded. Several have capsized when to many people moved to one side of the Ferry.

Trains are overloaded as well.

Why is this called terrorism?

Teenagers here blow up letterboxes with pipe bombs all the time. Its just a prank.

[Promethus]

But the Pranksters don't leav anti goverment letters.

[Alexander's Horse]

Oh give me a break - "terrorists" don't go around blowing up mail boxes in rural areas. Any teenager could dream up a note to spice up the attack and fool the gullible, i.e. people like you.

I'm sure there's a bunch of kids down laughing their heads off at all the publicity they are getting.

Next thing you'll be telling me is people who pepper country road signs with shot are terrorists

Sprayber, lots more folks pack onto those ferries and trains and busses in the 3rd world. Plus, as others have mentioned, their equipment is old and usually not very well serviced. Often it's used equipment sold from the 1st world where it doesn't meet safety specs anymore.

[Promethus]

AH You asked why it was being considerd "Terrosiom". If you look at my original post I voted for Teenagers.

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

You are from Holy Cross? Actually, the relatives I had in mind are from Holy Cross!!

I was born and raised near Dubuque (actually near Key West). Most of my relatives were farmers. My grandparents lived in Holy Cross, now my uncle and family still live there on the family farm on Thunder Road. I am sure you must know them, Jim & Elaine Pollack.

Sheesh - Apolyton, what a small world!!

Never.

Wow, I see Galena has also been affected - I have relatives there, too!

As for the motive, here is the text of the message left with the bombs. Sounds like the bomber is someone who wants to tell the world that you don't have to die..

Attention people.

You do things because you can and want (desire) to

If the government controls what you want to do, they control what you can do.

If you are under the impression that death exists, and you fear it, you do anything to avoid it. (This is the same way pain operates. Naturally we strive to avoid negative emotion/pain.)

You allow yourself to fear death!

World authorities allowed, and still allow you to fear death!

In avoiding death you are forced to conform, if you fail to conform, you suffer mentally and physically. (Are world powers utilizing the natural survival instinct in a way that allows them to capitalize on the people?)

To "live" (avoid death) in this society you are forced to conform/slave away.

I'm here to help you realize/ understand that you will live no matter what! It is up to you people to open your hearts and minds. There is no such thing as death. The people I've dismissed from this reality are not at all dead.

Conforming to the boundaries, and restrictions imposed by the government only reduces the substance in your lives. When 1% of the nation controls 99% of the nations total wealth, is it a wonder why there are control problems?

The United States strives to provide freedom for their people. Do we really have personal freedom? I've lived here for many years, and I see much limitation. Does the definition of freedom include limitation? I've learned about the history of various civilizations in history, and I see more and more limitation. Do you people enjoy this trend of limitation? If not, change it!

As long as you are uninformed about death you will continue to say "how high", when the government tells you to "jump". As long as the government is uninformed about death they will continue tell you to "jump" Is the government uninformed about death, or are they pretending?

You have been missing how things are, for very long. I'm obtaining your attention in the only way I can. More info is on its way. More "attention getters' are on the way. If I could, I would change only one person, unfortunately the resources are not accessible. It seems killing a single famous person would get the same media attention as killing numerous un-famous humans. There is less risk of being detained, associated with dismissing certain people.

Sincerely,

Someone Who Cares

PS. More info. will be delivered to various locations around the country.

OMG

This is soooooooo weird -- in a good way, I suppose.

Do you have AOL for Internet service? That is what I have.

I cannot believe this -- I am originally from Holy Cross, and I find someone else who has family there!

If you do not have AOL, I can download some instant messenger and we can chat that way.

MrFun, I don't use ICQ or any other messenging software. Please drop me a PM instead!
