Remember back in 2001? We all were introduced to the world of terrorism as the twin towers collapsed before the video cameras. Zoom ahead now. We've been pretty much terrorist free thanks to the vigilance of George and his marry goons. Its cost us a lot. 4100 American lives, 30,000 wounded, tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians died. It is rumored that the White House not wanting to create a negative feeling about the war placed tight rules on how they count American Casualties in Iraq. If a solder is wounded in Iraq but dies outside of the war zone, he/she is not considered a casualty of the war. Supposedly. Of course, our elected leaders would never try to manipulate data to support their reasonings.

Anyways on with the idea here. Even though our north and south borders were left w-i-d-e open for anyone looking for a better life or building to crash into to walk/drive across, we remained terrorist free. As we have been told that we are fairly terrorist free for the last 7 years whenever someone needed a pat on the back or to justify the human loss. ( except when we need the terrorist fear to convince us to give up freedoms or elections )

Even Osama himself had to be impressed with the video of the towers collapsing. I suspect that the bad guys never saw that coming. Tough one to top, thats for sure.

Than I'm shopping in Walmart the other day. Falling prices don't seem to fall much when the dollar in your hand is ownly worth .66 cents. Gas at $4 bucks a gallon while oil companies rake in billions in record profits. Notice how these oil companies openly threaten and black mail us every time the useless congress questions/threatens their profits. You don't let us drill in the pristene Alaskan Wilderness, so you pay higher for gas. More and more folks living on the streets because of bad credit loans. Meanwhile, those with good credit our penalized because of all these foreclosures. Mortgage companies and banks knowingly make bad loans and you guys with the good credit pay for their bad decisions.

Oh yea, shopping in Walmart. I got a little off track. I'm looking at these personal mister devices for like $10 bucks. ($6.60 last year.) Little pint container with a small pressure pump in the lid and a hose with a mister on the end. Fill the thing with cool water pump it up, squeeze the release button and a cooling mist sprays out the end. As I'm thinking on this over the LCD screens Walmart is proclaiming that all of their tomatoes come from approved FDA/USDA sources. No samonella worries here in Arkansas.

Than it struck me. One of these little misters conceled under Mr. Terrorist jacket filled with a nice brew of grade A samonella, hose running under Mr. Terrorist jacket sleeve into the palm of Mr. Terrorist hand. Everytime the veggie mister goes off all Mr. Terrorist has got to do is wave his hand over the veggies as if trying to select just the right head of lettace or tomatoe all the while holding that magic little button that lets his grade A special mist spray out.

You know its got to be getting rough signing up those suicide bombers. After all how many virgins does Alla keep up there? But 20 or 30 with misters across the country could create a pretty good Samonella outbreak without trace.

And what would be better for the terrorist. Trying to knock down more buildings or making us Americans question the safety of our own food supplies?

Based on our economic woes, our $4.00 a gallon gas, increased threats of homelessness possible threat to our foods and most importantly loss of freedoms. I'd have to say the terrorist have done much since they knocked down those buildings on that September morning back in 2001.

And my biggest observation: Not all terrorist where scarves, some dress in suits with US flags on their lapels. Lucky for us the Sepreme Court ruled in favor of citizens rights to own guns...........
