"Miscalculation." In other words, they didn't think it through. They didn't have a Plan B. They just didn't stop to consider that they might be wrong.

"Ohh yeah, the future! We forgot about that part. Again."

"Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are.
How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside."

--Zell Miller, 2004, "America's Most Discredited Senator"

"John Kerry has fought against government waste and worked hard to bring some accountability to Washington…He fought for balanced budgets before it was considered politically correct for Democrats to do so. John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment."

--Zell Miller, praising Kerry's voting record in a 2001 speech

the effort it takes

Fourteen of the rescue dogs that were on duty on 9-11, have already died of cancer. The article mentions that no one thinks that the cancer was caused by the chemicals used at the site. Humans who helped out there will be dying of cancer shortly, though, we can presume. Perhaps when that starts to happen, someone will start to investigate the strange seismic activity and the pools of steel at the base of the foundations that were still glowing weeks after the event. "Anomalous" levels of radioactivity at ground zero might have had something to do with this.

Weird. Shades of Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End...

More weirdness, but this is more like Michael Crichton...

Glorious Leader

President George W. Bush is a lying coward.
