    The time is ripe...

    for a massive terrorist attack. If the threat is so extreme as the USA and UK govts say, and tell us we need more and more big brother style governance.
    Isnt now the time for the Islamic extremists to strike?
    The western markets are finally balanced on the edge of a precipice (some would argue finely balanced on a precipice at the bottom of another precipice we have already fallen down.. but does that mean we are in one precipice and therefore falling into another precipice is impossible and actually just falling into the same precipice a bit further... anyway I digress.. where was I?) so any attack now, a major attack would send the western markets into even more of a tailspin. (I love mixing metphors.. tailspinning as we slide down a precipice(s).. actually what do you call a groud of precipices... a pod of precipices?))
    But strangely (touch wood) nothing has happened, the time is ready... just a little bomb will do... but nothing.... nada .. zilch.

    (If there is a major attack in the next little period, dont blame me!)


    I am now confused by my own post... I think its about tailspins, terrorists and precipices.

        I don't know, they seem to think that the only thing that will get McCain into the White House is another attack, so surely all these mad mullahs will be sat patting their mat hoping that nothing happens until after then?

        Unless you believe in conspiracy theories of course.

          You advise people not to think? Well I guess it is the only way you will ever sell SKA.

                What with the latest announcement regarding the Big Brother Communication Database, it seems likely that "something" will happen in the next week or so, to add impetus and underline the Government's plans.

                It's the usual story...

                Field full of sheep.

                Tell the them the Wolf is coming, and they all look at you and say "Baa."

                Tell them they need extra high security fencing with 10,000 volts to protect them from the Wolf attacks and they all say "Baa".

                The following day, the Wolf comes and eats some of them, leaving mutilated corpses all over the place.

                Tell them they need extra high security fencing with 10,000 volts to protect them from any more Wolf attacks and they all say "OK".

                The question is : Was the Wolf for real, and who was it working for ?
                Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                  You mean the markets have fallen onto a ledge near the top of this?
