Samantha,
       I personally don't think your "feelings" are anything for us to base
national policy on. In the first place I can't take your feelings out of
your head to even check that you are reporting them accurately. So I treat
them as just another rant.
       If you recall after the Salem Witch Trials the courts adopted a rule
that basically says we cannot introduce transcendental evidence into a court
of law.
       Insofar as I am able to determine your feelings fall into the same
category as transcendental evidence.
       But I do find it incredible that you can get so worked up when 3000
people dead in NYC and the prospect of even more in the future doesn't seem
to be important enough to stir you to action.
