All decisions, even those of liberals, are the result of binary thinking.


John, if the guy had that much applied to his thigh, I think the best
that could have happened is that when it went off, it would have
guarenteed that he couldn't infest his genetics into anyone else

The x rays or whatever they showed in the early days showed it to be a
bundle about the size of a tube of tooth paste... Quite a bit of
explosive there if he had the kind in the video... That could take down

place explosive on a critical component in an aircraft. Unless
directionally controlled explosives dissipate their force equally over
the entire sphere. That force diminishes exponentially with distance.
