    Can’t you see that this is just the administration manipulating homeland security fears for political gain on the eve of the election?

    Oh, wait. Bush isn’t president.

    Sorry. Force of habit.

    So that could mean…

I'm starting to see that our political strife on this planet and definitely here on B'net is due to a lack or abundance of Oxytocin. We can't help what we do or think, our bodies, dna, etc. are running the show. We are meat puppets to our hormonal & chemical urges. In the words of the immortal Bela Lugosi...."Pull dee string, pull dee string!" PAZ in Ed Wood land.
