Bicyclist sought in Times Square bombing
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/06/times.square/index.html

Seems like a revamp of Weather Underground tactics aimed at the infrastructure of an organisation rather than it's personnel - still, someone's gonna have to clean and patch the mess.

Not sure exactly WHAT my opinion on it is, at this point, I gotta think about it a while...

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

No need to patch & paint - just hang a "Mission Accomplished" banner over it, and all will be better soon...

"but when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out....in" - Lennon

harkens back to the "Power to the People" and "Take it to the streets" hay-day of my youth...

times change -so do attitudes, and maybe i'm getting soft in my old age, but something about civilian uprisings still reassures me that some of us refuse to be led my the nose...

I'm not sure if this incident was justified, but it smacks of civil disobedience - a precursor to revolution - which to some is not such a bad thing.

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
of destruction.



The Alliance said they were gonna waltz through Serenity Valley. And we choked 'em with those words. We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

I'm with you. Been warning folks about bicyclists for years.

And don't give me any of the 'bicycles don't kill people crap'. We all know how it works with the peddling and the tight shorts and the helmets, its a recipe for terror.

Now that's funny! And yes, I imagine there are a few terrorized folk when I put on my tight shorts and helmet. My wife is one of them. :)

Bicyclists don't kill people; people kill bicyclists.

Wait, that's not right. Oh, wait - yes it is!

Does'nt PIRATENEWS ride a bike, since he's been banned from driving in 48 states due to his drunken mowing down of pedestrians.

Or was it maybe Osama Bin Riden?

Damn straight - and don't forget about that little computer some of 'em have on the handlebars...you can't tell me that's JUST for calculating mileage...

It was death-by-10-speed when we got here!

Really? Would it help you to make up your mind if an anarchist throws a bomb thru your front window?
