[Vision2020] A thought . .

[Paul Rumelhart]

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't feel any less safe with the 
Boston Marathon bomber on the loose.  I highly doubt that Moscow is next 
on the list of targets.  Besides, feeling safe is an illusion.  Unless 
you live in the Fortress of Solitude, you are vulnerable.  It's a dark 
and scary world out there.

I hope they catch whoever it is right away before anyone decides we need 
a Patriot Act II, and before anyone starts talking about martial law or 
about taking away any more rights.  And when they do catch whoever it is 
that did this, I hope they are tried through the normal channels and not 
sent to Gitmo indefinitely.
