This blows my mind. I feel that I need to be "humble" when I'm in 'Bama, cause I'm a Yankee from Michigan! How the hell can Islamic millitants operate there?
"Native American Male" - Do you mean a person born in America? Or do you mean a member of the race of peoples who waged war upon, killed and murdered, and ultimatly displaced the indiginous peoples? Or do you mean a person from the original inhabitants of the land which comprises the United States?
"Rods" are insects which show up as artifacts on film when a photograph is taken at a slow shutter speed. (That's why there is a famous pic of a bird attacking a rod.)
This thing doesn't look like a rod. It actually looks like something that might be attached to a cable TV or telephone wire. I will be interested in any analysis of the thing.
When I think of relaxing gun laws, I think of 155mm Howitzers and such. The last time I looked, the highest law in the land says that if you can carry it, it's legal!
If the reward was over $1M, I would consider going down there and try to catch the sniper. That said, I'll guess that there are people hunting for him now.
I am very impressed by the drivers out here in the country. 99% get off the road (2 lane) well infront of the emergency vehicle. Those who don't are just not paying attention, but because of those who are, the vehicles can get around them easily. In a metro area, I don't think that this is possible.
I am so sad for the stupid violence in Palestine. From what I understand, it is not only the Israelies who are taking the brunt of this evil, but the normal Palestinians, who want to live in peace, work, and raise families are also victims of Islam-commie-psychopathic leadership.
As a conservatice Christian, my feelings twoards these individuals and the punishments they deserve causes me great personal pain. (I do beleive that McVeigh was killed much too soon. Seems like the Justice Department wanted rid of the guy so he wouldn't talk.)
