terrorist plot close to home. Options

[Cero]

Well this was all over my news all day and you guys probably read or saw it. They arrested some people for planning on attacking Fort Dix in NJ. The thing is they trained for this about 25 miles from me in the pocono's in pennsylvania. I used to deliver in the housing development they rented a house in. Makes you worry a lot more when its close to home. Makes it feel like there is no safe place especially with nuclear power plants around me.

Best not to scoff at a bunch of psychos intents.... its pretty safe to assume they knew they'd be obliterated after doing whatever damage they could do.

Have you heard about the latest quirk of quirks.... NRA wants to stop the government from banning 'suspected' terrorists from buying guns; hmmmmmmmmmm.....................

Anyway I agree with Jack.... there aren't too many periods in history where the common person doesn't fear some calamity about to wipe them out... in the 1950s/60s it was imminent threat of nuclear war-with what-to-do-when a bomb hits your town tv-info-mercials. In the 1970s and 80s there were terrorist attacks everywhere [or in the US pysho-spree killers/ gangs slaughtering the locals] and the realisic threat of an accidental start of a nuclear war to destroy the world a zillion times over. Then in the 90s drugs gave rise to psycho gangs and druglords all over the world with how many innocents being terrorised or killed by getting caught in crossfires or targets of crackheads. Even deeper is the revelation about how some judges continuously give a free pass to felons- the Paris Hilton story may be amusing to some, but its morons like her that kill people when they thumb their noses up at the law. So I agree anything at anytime can happen to us. hey- that dark spot in the sky is getting pretty big.................
