News Release: Teacher Arrested!


At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to
be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while
in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule,
and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney general John
Ashcroft said he believes the man is a member of the notorious
al-gebra movement.

He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math
instruction.

"Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," Ashcroft said. "They desire average
solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a
search of absolute value.

They use secret code names like 'x'and 'y' and refer to themselves as
'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator
of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the
Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides to every
triangle'."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had
wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have
given us more fingers and toes."


ROFLMFAO!!!

Killing thousands of innocent people with nerve gas is no laughing matter,
and fortunately the people in power are not as ignorant as you are. It's a
"No Brainer" that we were next. Why wait until they unleash nerve gas here,
they were already sending anthrax, or did you forget about that?

Does B O stand for Body Odor? Or IQ Barely Over 10?


I've posted this before, but you probably didn't see it, or
understand it.

We've known about what Hussein did to his people for years. Yet we
still bankrolled him when he invaded Iran. Why? Because at that time
he was our friend and Iran was our enemy, so no one cared about the
atrocities he was committing on his own people. Why didn't daddy
Bush take him out in the gulf war, when no one around the world
would've had a problem with it?

One more thing genius. The Taliban committed many atrocities to their
people, yet this current administration gave 43 million to them 6
months prior to 9/11 so they wouldn't grow poppy seeds used to make
heroin. Apparently nothing was more important than the so-called war
on drugs.


PLease post anything to refute this.






The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity,
but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Makes one wonder why the United States gave him the technical know how and
feed stock to kill all those people. You DO know this is a fact, don't
you? You HAVE seen the pictures of Rumsfield meeting with Sadam, haven't
you?

By the way, while killing the Kurds was a terrible thing to do, it was a
civil war and uprising. Care to tell us what Grant and Sherman did during
our little civil war?


Grant and Sherman used poison gas? I didn't know that..

Now it is possible that he was dumb enough to be fooled by inadequate
intelligence.


The only one fooled is yourself by listening to the news. How many thousands
of innocent people needed to be killed by gases before it was considered a
worthy cause? When you can kill thousands of people with little effort, I
would say that is a weapon of mass destruction. Nobody argues that Sadam
kill thousands of Kurds.


There are, unfortunately, plenty of governments that have killed tens
of thousands of civilians. Of course, when President Clinton
attempted to stop genocides in places like Somalia and Bosnia,
candidates like Governor Bush criticized the former president for
getting the U.S. bogged-down in "nation-building." We're not the
world's policeman.

Would you have rather waited until he used it in the U.S.? I guess you
forgot about the anthrax that was sent through the postal service.


I guess you forgot that no serious anti-terrorism authority has
claimed that the anthrax attacks were sponsored by Saddam Hussein.

Funny, funny post. Sad thing is that my 17 year old niece got stopped
at security because of a calculator in her book bag. They would not
let her through security with it. She told them they could toss it,
but they wouldn't do that, either. Meanwhile, we had already gone back
to the car because we thought we had seen her get through security ok
(it took about an hour to get through). She called us, in tears, to
come back into the terminal to help her. They were going to make her
go back to the beginning of the security line. At that point, her
flght was expected to leave in ten minutes or so. So, my husband went
to the guards, took the calculator and begged them to let her through
so she wouldn't miss the flight. A CALCULATOR!!! Unbelievable.

Fortunately the people who know what goes on in the world have the power to
do something about it rather than wait until a weapon of mass destruction
like poison gas is released in NYC killing millions.

Just in case, I didn't come up with this. Found it somewhere and
thought some others might like it.

I guess you never heard of the burning of Atlanta or the thousands of lives
lost at POW camps - just as effective and cruel - or more so - than a quick
death by poison gas.


How many civilian lives were lost in the burning of Atlanta?

During the "Indian Wars" I guess you also never heard of the the US
poisoning Indian water holes, destroying the buffalo (thier source of the
Indian's very existence) and of giving out anthrax blankets to the Indians.


That's not Grant and Sherman.

Ever think about the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Vietnamese
affected by Agent Orange? Ever think about the hundreds of thousands or
millions of Japaneese affected my nuclear radiation?


That's not Grant and Sherman, either.

I think Saddam deserved to go; I have no pity for him. But I
don't think we were right to start this little war either.

Society shapes them into killers. The people doing the execution are
exercising diffusion of responsibility when relying on state-sponsored
execution. A better bet would be to address the real problem, not the
symptom of it...


Actually..some are. These are called sociopaths or psychopaths.
Damaged goods.


How and when are they damaged is still the question, and has been
for a long time. The answer is probably, as is usually the case, somewhere
in the middle.
