Caller to KVI 570 (conservative AM station here in Seattle) said the exact same thing. Terrorists abound and our troopers are asked to be baby sitters. We are now under a "Click it or Ticket" fatwa by the state, $86 fine.
The rep who pushed this through the WA state legislature had a sister that died in a car crash and wasn't wearing a seat belt.
This brings up my questions:
1. your sister is (er was) a dumb butt
2. your sister only does what the loving government tells her to do?
3. I had a cat that ran away. I don't go telling everyone to put their cat on a leash.
4. The Nannystate is breading wimps that can't think for themselves. Just recently we had a crazied student with a knife in a classroom. The only one in the class to stand up against him was a girl. Where were the boys in the class?
5. We're entering a reverse Darwinistic society where only the stupid breed. I think all the motorcycle riders w/o helmet should crash and die, I don't want them to reproduce.

There's another one on Ventura, in Encino incidentally, I believe. And there's always the other one over the hill. There might even be another one over there, besides Westwood.

But I thought their sandwiches were more like $20? Or is that the milkshake? Heh.

Good guess.

I think it would make sense for everyone living in homes or apartments to double-check their gas lines.

If a terrorist wanted to, a little monkeying-around is all it would take.

Frankly, we don't mind it a bit if you have an accident and you are not wearing your seatbelt provided you die.

It's those lingering deaths that become a cost to the taxpayers that bother us.

Same going on in Arkansas. Hey, gotta make the month's budget quota. Tickets are a major source of state income; catching terrorists isn't. There is no money in catching terrorists.

When I worked in Burbank I would hit the one in Studio City all the time. One night I saw Magic Johnson a few tables away from me right after that HIV press conference.

Unless casualties isn't the goal.. and unsophisciated attack just as leaving the gas on in the middle day.. why? simply to cause fear.. apt warning goes into effect and so they take a few out.. now if it's just one it makes me aphrensive but certainly not enough to warrant my tin foil hat just yet.. if a few more gas explosions happen over the day or weekend.. then i'll jump into the shower.

Yesterday, LAFCO, the state commission that handles requests to form new cities, agreed to allow the San Fernando Valley to vote next November on secession from the City of Los Angeles. Today, LA Mayor James Hahn has sent a warning message to San Fernando Valley residents. He is making them an offer they can't refuse.

Unfortunely the costs invovled to taking that person to the hospital comes out of all our pocketbooks.. so is the law really about safety? No.. is it about money.. yes.

There was an explosion and fire in a post office/apartment building near Philadelphia this morning! Two deaths I believe

Not sure what happened up in Plano but there was a HUGE fire that you could see all the way from Lewisville a couple hours ago.
