My, Radhil, what wisdom you have to spot snide comments from reading words on an electronic message board. I didn't mean to be snide in any way. It's what I've always said. I called into my local conspiracy theory shock jock in town and told him the same thing. He didn't like it, but he said it was an interesting theory (this coming from a guy who believes the 9/11 plans were remote-controlled). No, snideness was neither intended nor achieved. I am sorry you read it that way.

I have heard that the US knew about the PH attack beforehand. I have heard many, many stories about Oklahoma. There are books written on everything -- by both qualified and unqualified authors, meaning ones involved in the investigations and ones not -- that come up with some wild, wacky stories. How much of it all is true, I don't know. One small example is one of the guys investigating the OK bombing said several witnesses saw a car with three Middle-Eastern men speeding away a few minutes before the explosion. Stuff like that. Did they do it? Or did some anti-social lunatic do it? I don't know, but someone thinks it may have been one and others may think it was the other. It's a mystery, and people want to explain it somehow. Maybe one person thought they saw the Middle-Eastern men, due to some subconcious stereotypes within their mind, and others agreed, because sometimes people will agree when you ask them something because it fills in an empty spot in their mind. I wonder if the author of that book reveals how many people DID NOT see the men speeding away?
Heh, well, Radhil, I am not batting the ball for anyone, and for you to presume I am doing all of this to personally peeve you, then you are mistaken. I am not arguing. Heck, this isn't even a debate. I am just talking here about what I think is an interesting subject. Everything I say you act confrontational to, man. Lighten up, junior.

Recent goings-ons is, unfortunately, one topic I seem to not be able to lighten up on. I take it too seriously, and with good reason. I took you as snide because there are a lot of wild stories going around, only the far worst of which seem to be not true, the people asking the questions generating those stories are the last people to want excitement (ie. victim's families), and because my frustration with trying to interpret both sides has reached an all-time high. You caught the projection, and for that, I'm sorry.
That said, I'm likely to do it again if it comes up. As you said, I'm a little too serious. Where's that magic wand when you need it....
