I read a quote somewhere after both tragedies that terrorists crave publicity and owners of companies that violate laws try to avoid it, and the media is happy to give both of them what they want.


i find it ironic that tx wanted to secede and then complained fema didn't give them enough $. that they say they don't want more regulations, especially not on business and industry (see storage facility, above) but they just had a second special session to force more regulations on businesses....
ah, texas. ain't it grand.
