Considering how many of the hate Willson crowd complain that he was stupid for involving himself in such a dangerous form of demonstration, it is curious that so many of these same people show such major stupidity themselves. This article, labled "food" for thought, should be investigated by the FDA. To spell it out, which seems to be necessary with this bunch, if there was a possibility that the protesters were really terrorists, then running the train though at a high rate of speed would be folly indeed. For instance, the terrorists might just drive a car across the track and hope the munitions blow. But this is not the point, really--what I am wondering is what warped view of the world could cause someone to think this paranoid fantasy made any kind of sense, and was worth posting to the net? I am finding out a lot about how deranged some of you are, I say again. This seems to be for some reason an extraordinarily revealing incident, a kind of social-political ink blot. >Food for thought anyhow-- Learn to think yourself, then give us your food for thought. ucbvax!garnet!gsmith Gene Ward Smith/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720 "Without NNTP, the brahms gang itself would be impossible" Erik E.
