OK 100 people died instead of 70! discredited? Let's play this out. What if there is a terrorist group made of Muslim extremist out there and they do get a weapon into this country and destroy say 100,000 people. It would destroy the economy, destroy a city, wipe out hospitals, could you imagine the lawsuits. I'm sorry for sounding right wing but I'm tired of us lefties turning a deaf ear as if it can't happen. If your program is ignorance, I will not get with it! leopardtweezer

But since you see this as a "left" issue, and based on your body of TP posts I am assuming you are a bona fide "righty" -- what does this say about you?
