Did you guys here of the guy the fortified a dozer and started to take apart a small motion town? I sure did... it happened in Colorado.
I slant my site towards normal folks wanting an insight to the geek world. After all, my core readers are my family, and I'm a geek and they aren't (though Mom is getting there).
But this is a true bridge event. You all heard about it, and this guy is a mini-example of larger trends. Any event of certain interest size will generate conspiracy theories. It doesn't matter the political slant of the item, or the reality of it... it will generate such fans.
When you read this yahoo's take on this event... before you dismiss it totally, consider how well you would accept it if he were saying something you wanted to believe in...
OK.. off my soap box today... and honestly, this reminded me that I actually need to get some soap tomorrow...

Whoa! One man in an armored dozer rampaging through Granby destroying a few small businesses & taking pot shots at propane tanks, then commiting suicide "Our 9/11" ??? Does than make Columbine "Our Pearl Harbor"? Granted, it was shocking & property damage occured, but to compare it to 9/11 in any degree, is plain silly. My cousin was working in a nearby building in NYC when the Twin Towers were attacked by terrorists. He watched in horror as scores of people jumped to their deaths rather than die in the smoke & flames. To minimize 9/11 in such a way does a great inservice to all those worldwide who detest terrorism & especially those who fight to quell it.
Thanks for letting me comment!

I did say 'to some degree'. After all, nobody got hurt other than the man in the dozer. I wrote that after seeing some of the damage, and it had an effect on me.
But you are right. I've changed the post. Thanks for the comment.
My archives never have seemed to work. But now that my readership has doubled (you and my mom), I might have to try the wonderful blogger help system again.. sigh...
