Yeah, but it reached its nadir of ridiculousness at my last place of employment, where the primary anti-terrorism measure was to place *plastic sawhorses* (I kid you not) blocking off the parking circle out front of our research building. *That's* sure to stop a truck bomb!

In much the same way she admitted that she didn't know everything that Clinton had done about terrorism, but feels justified in continuing to say "he did nothing". And in much the same way that she admitted that she doesn't know everything the Democrats are saying about nuclear power *or* terrorism, and yet feels justified in continuing to say "they're not doing anything about either." In reference to the old joke....I think the pig is starting to like it. Eric Lucas

What I've heard so far is talk about making plans. It's too late to talk about making plans.

One of my jobs was to have a plan and then do it whenever I got a phone call to reduce power consumption. This meant shutting down mainframes that got extremely cranky if they were powered down. /BAH |
