Mayb,
I am relieved that your friends are okay. There are no guarantees about the future, experts who are being realistic admit this. Anyone else is telling fairy tales to children.

Inkedforlife, it seems so pointless for one side to make shallow promises and for the other side to pretend to believe it doesn't it?. Why not just look at reality. Once you have processed the information it is far easier to deal with than continually spinning a fantasy. This means that when bad things happen which they always have and always will we are better able to face them. I don't know why people pretend bad things don't happen

Form of control...
is what this is. They say steps will be taken to ensure this doen't happen again. Which translates into, "Most of you are scared to death and you will let us get away with anything. As long as we give you a false hope of security. You will help us achieve our own agenda." Rage Against the Machine's lead singer Zach Delarocha said it like this. "They load the clip with omnicolor. Pack it in the nine and fire it at the prime time." "They sleeping gas, Every home is like Alcatraz. Just another victim of an in house drive by." Im not sure if I qouted all those lyrics right but basicly what he saying is. They use the media to spread fear and to sell you their lies. Regardless, it makes me sick too.

Yes people would rather live in a state of delusion or perhaps they know the truth but choose not to talk about it

No, but people demand such reassurances true or not.
Why else would they have reelected George Bush Jr ?
