3. That's easy, because it's what was on TV.

That and the celebration at Ground Zero.

4. Because some people here...

think some of us here are running through the streets shouting, 'USA, USA, USA!' when we're not. I guess because some people are glad that this bin Laden thing finally got wrapped up after 10 years, myself included, that makes us a bunch of bloodthirsty savages. There've been quite a few OP's shaking the finger, as if they are the only ones with self-awareness, morals and the ability to understand that bin Laden's death, while some sort of cathartic release, is not going to solve all our problems. So they chide us like children.

6. Well said

I feel good today. I am sure the likelihood of a terror attack in America, Britain, Bali, or anywhere is much less on account of OBL getting stomped.

7. DU was getting too serious about issues and 2012 -- we needed a distraction -- !!!

:rofl: --

and there seems a large effort being made to move from articles that relate

to issues and positions and move over to nonsense threads --

Meanwhile Late Breaking News ain't what it used to be!!

The weather is good though -- and we're all out more!!
