The stench is starting to seep through even more so. <br><br> <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14320452/">Source: U.S., U.K. at odds over timing of arrests</a> <br><br> <i>A senior British official knowledgeable about the case said British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.</i>

I stopped flying when they started searching people. Haven't flown since 1969 and haven't missed a thing. This traveling hysteria is causing the worst pollution and sickness spreading problems and if 90% of all commercial and military aircraft were junked tomorrow, the world would be a better place. One of those passenger jets taking off causes more pollution and wasted fuel than a city in a whole day.

Just so that people can be "somewhere else" trying to excape realities. But it all adds to the GDP and OK according to our governments and economists.

I only fly when I absolutely have to. I cannot stand being in airports any longer because of the idiotic security measures that accomplish nothing in terms of security. They'd be far better off investing all that money back into safety inspections, or even better, simply not getting involved in the business of war. I'm many more times likely to be killed driving to work anyway.

In any event, where are all the terrorists anyway? I see lot's of arrests, but no convictions. It makes me wonder who the real terrorists are, and I mean the ones who are planting those real bombs every now and then, perfectly timed to affect public opinion in the governments favor, and leaving no one around to be arrested for the crime.

Except for the potty-mouth, and the nonsense rant that Osama attacked us because we let our women dress slutty and we watch porn.

I refuse to be terrorised because I know that is what my government wants me to be - in FEAR, praying for more of my freedoms to be taken so that I will feel SAFE again.

In FEAR, so that I will run down to Future Shop and pick up the latest gadget to soothe my frayed nerves.

In FEAR, so I will gorge myself on fast food to take away the pain of insecurity.

The only thing I know about all this, other than the outlandish nature that so often hints of a false flag op, is that it took Canada's focus away from Lebanon for the weekend.

I sincerely hope the end result of this is that it cripples and destroys the US airline industry. Only then will people begin to realize the horrible effects of their fear mongering.

Noone I know is afraid of terrorists. My only concern is the lessons given by government. 911 was a lesson of sorts to ramp up the fear. My concern is that the powers that be will use a city like Vancouver as a terrorist playground to polarize the populous against (them). Still there are plenty of (Army guys) out there who are ready to shoot into the dark at whatever the government's new imagined threat happens to be. The media runs with this and amplifys the feeling. Mob mentality shows that eventually it will get to us all. I for one try to distance my family from this new reality by separating them from the media machine.

Mallus,

I've often wondered what the likes of Bell,Rogers and Starchoice would do if all of a sudden en masse we cancelled our TV subscriptions? How would they get the propaganda out at the rate they do? And even more importantly, what would the propaganda officials do? I try and imagine that and am one piss-off away from cancelling mine.
