New question:
Pick one:
1. Good thing those terrorists couldn't get guns onto those planes. Guess our anti-gun laws are helping so much.
2. Wow, that was such a good thing those kids in Colorado didn't have access to fully fueled aircraft.
3. Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
4. I guess since every single way to protect us is the same as any other single way, we shouldn't worry about people with nuclear weapons (missile shield) as long as we can fight non-nuclear terrorism (knives).
5. Making people inconvenienced in flying isn't a big deal. After all, we needed to increase airport security anyway. Sure, we should have been intelligent enough before to realize we were under a false sense of security, but it's okay now that we've instituted the measures we should have before; when it's too late to do anything about it.
6. The best defense is a good offense.
7. We scream about how A should have done B. Hindsight is always 10/10 isn't it? Where was I when we were complaining, oh, I don't know.
8. Ben Franklin said it; "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
9. Realism is a bitch.
Second (earlier) Question:
Should the links on these pages open in new browser windows by themselves, or should they stay like they are, allowing people to open them in a new window themselves?
