Quote for the Day

"It is irresposible for any politician to openly discuss the outlawing or the sanctioning of torture. We live in a very dangerous world, and if a suitcase Nuke is being carried into Disneyworld... Any means to prevent the carnage must be on the table. A politician is unfit to lead if he doesn't understand the difference between what is spoken from a podium, and what must be done in a crisis."
-- Malott

Are you sure it wasn't Jack Bauer who said that?

Skyepuppy,

It's hard to tell. Jack and I are so alike. I'm generally not as violent though... Unless I get riled up.

Amen. We were created to hyper-react in a crisis so that we can accomplish things outside the normal, measured course of response. This is what adrenalin is for...those "whatever it takes" moments.
