Perhaps he wanted to wait until the facts were more clear? Jayne would fly headlong at a problem without a second thought. That's why Mal is the Captain.

Moi?

I don't see a stampede. AT PRESENT I don't see the government trying to steer us into one. I would be personally extremely suspicious if it looked like it was headed in that direction. Like I was w/ Afghanistan and especially Iraq, like I was with the USPATRIOT Act (supported almost entirely by our right-wing contingent), etc.

I just wonder who is acting as 'sheeple' since I don't see anyone being herded in a particular direction.

Am I the only one who noticed this is Tax Day, and Boston? If there was an anti-tax nut who didn't mind killing a few fellow 'muricans to make a point, al la Tim mcVeigh, seems the day and the venue would pretty much fit the bill.

OTOH, maybe it's North Korea's clever plan to get us fight each other... not that we need much encouragement in that direction.

Or maybe it's Iraqis, Pakistanis, or Afghanis. After all, thanks to us they've been living with terrorist bombings for the past 10 years or so. Seems they have every right to be aggrieved. Giving us a taste of our own medicine, perhaps?

Or maybe it's the gubmint, like PN said. One more excuse to take away even MORE freedoms. Yet another justification to detain, imprison, torture and kill citizens w/o trial. Not that it would bother rappy.

I can think of a lot of plausible enemies.

Yeah, Tax Day and Boston were my first thought as well. And the fact that the Boston Marathon is an international event, so there's a fear of globalization somewhere in the subtext, just as there was on 9/11. Regardless of who's "responsible," these things always happen for the same reason.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Also, everyone seem so hung up on the cell phone theory. Why is that ? Do bombs not also work on timer devices ? This idea that it HAD to be cell phone activated, has that been disclosed yet ?

Really? Other people thought of that besides me? I hadn't heard. As for my claiming it HAD to be cell phone activated, perhaps I can point this out: I had a thought - assuming of course that they really did recover an unexploded device (two elsewhere) - perhaps they were telephone activated. It was too long to walk from one to the other to set them off so close in time. And it may have been too complicated to get them to go off using timers in so well coordinated a way. Perhaps after the first two, so many people got on their cell phones that the bomber either couldn't get a dial tone or got the 'trunk line busy' fast-busy signal, and so couldn't trigger the third bomb.

The news is full throttle in promoting this idea, that it HAD to be cell phone activated, and the working theory is that cell traffic prevented other devices from going off. I don't know. Possible, but it sounds too scripted for me to buy into it, that so many different news outlets are running with exactly the same speculation, w/ out anything official to go on.
