I feel much safer knowing it was just an unsafe bridge. Good thing we are spending all those tax dollars to stop the terra-ists in Iraq so we don't have to fight them here. :sarcasm:

2. Guess that really depends upon who you see as the
actual "terrorists"....I would not hesitate to bet you, that all the people on that bridge were quite terrified as it went down (or for any bridge that shakes and shimmys as you drive over them)...and who was responsible for it's condition? An Interstate is a Federal highway, is it not? Another NO levee in the form of a bridge...??? funds cut, funds cut, funds cut....after all, spending all that money over there to kill people is far more important than taking care of our country's infrastructure here...hell, we'll just sell it to Spain or Dubai....let them repair it...Couldn't the fact that our bridges/highways are in such terrible disrepair that one has to be afraid for their lives every time they drive on them be considered a form of terrorism?? Especially considering that there are those who have NO choice but to drive on them???.....wb

3. Yep. The "genius" of boy George is he has managed to convince at least half the
population of what they should be afraid of rather than what is truly something to worry about.
