I originally thought this was probably ME terrorists, but now I think it's probably a nutcase. However, if nothing else, it has certainly given us a taste of what it would be like if ME terrorists start doing here what they do elsewhere, and hopefully, has given the police and authorities a better idea of how to respond.

One of the impressive things, I think, is that the people in the sniper region do not seem to be hiding in the cellar. They're being careful but tough and strong, from what I can see of the area in news reports (although the press makes it sound as if people are all hiding away and wringing their hands).

We're not. We're also not waiting around for psychobabblists to assuage our grief and fear. The whole notion infuriates me. What would you do if it was your area? Using the "you" pronoun to refer to anyone reading and not in the Merryland area. You know, especially on THIS forum, every one of you would be out and about doing your business. I'm thinking most of you would, while mindful of potential danger, encourage your children to live normal lives...ie go to school, etc.

Merryland is a goofy liberal state that I love to hate but two things.....We ain't electing that idiot Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and we ain't a bunch of cowards hiding under covers from that nasty sniper. Somewhere deep inside of the citizens of this liberal hell of a hole, there are REAL Americans.

Heck, we even resent the very honest Governor Spendenning, the little lesbian Mikulski and that blow-hard Sarbanes taking advantage of this event for air time. WE are the citizens of Merryland. WE have no microphones to show how glib we are. WE must work, pay our bills and live our lives. And by golly that is just what we are doing.
