The government answers to us, not the other way ’round.
Less so, each day.

Thanks for reaffirming the point of this discussion, Comrade. Obviously, you are a kapo-wannabe.

Without debating the motivations of your stance, it’s nonetheless obvious you are just like those managers in WTC Tower 2, who after realizing that a jetliner had crashed into Tower 1, said: “Nothing to worry about folks, just stay at your desks.” In hindsight we see that those managers weren’t evil – they were stupid and complacent about the pending disaster soon to engulf everyone.
Their mental models were compromized, like yours. They thought that the sprinkler systems would function adequately. Worst case, they thought the NYFD would come to their rescue. Those managers didn’t immediately recall that Ramsey Yousef (orchestrator of WTC Bombing #1)told John O’Neil (FBI AIC Counter-Terrorism who later “renditioned” him from Pakistan) that next time we’ll [AQ] use a bigger bomb. They were lulled into complacency, which in an actual crisis has proven to be anti-life.
Some here are less complacent about our present situation. So Herb, now we’ve identified a whole bunch of anti-Americans sawing at the ground-bolts that anchor the whole struture to the bed rock. Should we stay at our desks, even now, when it’s getting windy?
Naturally, you may continue to proselityze that we should all just be reasonable and let it fall; but you shouldn’t think you won’t ever have to find the nearest exit.
