As hard as it may be for those who live in or love NY and DC, the loss of
both might well benefit the country! There'd be a lot of hand wringing
but
what does either city produce that America wouldn't be better off without?
Tons of garbage and hundreds of mindles laws and edicts every day? A new
president would take over and form a temporary gummymint IAW a cold-war
law
designed to deal with exactly such an event and the nation would go on
much
like nothing had happened. States would appoint new Congressmen and
Senators
til permanent ones, and a president, could be elected and a year later
it'd
be Life as Usual. It'd be a shame if all our historic papers were lost,
not
to mention the lives, but who'd miss NYC or DC per se?

I really hope this is tongue-in-cheek.

Agreed. But just get rid of them? We should see if we could trade 'em
for, say, Singapore, Rio, and ummm... trying to think of another big
city I've liked...

Sydney. Oz seems to think it's perfect.

You may be right, but unfortunately there is no turning back now. One
of
two outcomes will prevail: 1) might will triumph over terrorism, or
2)
terrorism will triumph over might and destroy the USA.

Actually I see the third option,
that it will all die down after a regrettably long time with an
horrendous loss of life.

You could be right, but I'd tend to doubt that outcome considering the
degree of fanatacism of the current crop of Islamic radicals or our
current
president.

Oh he'll be well gone by then.
I'm talking at least another 2 presidents before it's calm again.

What makes you think the next two presidents will behave/perform any
differently than this one? You have far more optimism than I. Must have
something to do with hanging by your feet with all that blood rushing to
your head.

Exactly.

Also: Reagan still dead and water remains wet!
Standby for more exciting Maxipad updates!

Nothing of substance to say. Nothing to refute statements


Nope. You're right about Reagan being still dead and water IS wet. Good one,
Maxipad!

Bwahahahahaha!
