    It's sad that there is all this talk about this incident; yet nothing about the Boston bomb!

    So in a much more fatal 1947 Texas fertilizer explosion, the number of dead was 576 plus many unrecorded.

    That was only 3 dead. This is bigger.

    We got the #10 pick!

    Events like industrial accidents and mine disasters just don't resonate with the average person the way horrible crimes do.

    Most of what I've seen of the plant explosion coverage has been arial footage of the plant on fire. I think until they actually get in and dig through the bubble and take lots of photos of that, people will realize how massive this thing was. A terrible tragedy. A whole town blown off the map, basically.

    Rich conservatives want to fight wars. Democrats want to improve the lot of the worker. If unions were stronger, industrial accidents would be fewer and less fatal.

    Rich democrats want to pump the nation on drugs to calm the nerves of ADHD children or poison to inject into cancer patients. Their means for control is spy vs spy.

    Pretty strange that this is being reported as an accident. Unless a higher power "convinced them" not to go there, the media would typically be all over the payback angle, replaying the Waco seige footage ad nauseam.

    20 years almost to the day.

    On February 28, 1993, there was a shootout in which six Branch Davidians and four agents of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) died. After 50 days, on April 19, 1993, a standoff between FBI agents and Branch Davidians ended in a fire that destroyed their compound located in Mt. Carmel, near Waco. Seventy-four people, including leader David Koresh, died in the blaze. This event became known as the Waco siege.

    Another strange thing is that CISPA, the stalled legislation to spy on us more thoroughly, was quietly passed yesterday while coincidentally, the Texas and Boston explosions dominated the news.

    Gotta love the spirit of bipartisanship and compromise.

    Someone in a tinfoil hat will probably propose that the 2 events were manufactured to get the legislation passed. I can't believe the kooks running around nowadays. I treasure these moments when the NSA reads our threads.

    No, he's with us. I'll bet you a thousand dollars that Maris loves CISPA exactly as much as I do.

    Well, let's see whether the media buries the news of the 20th anniversary today. If so, we'll know Maris is right.

    And yes, Reno shouldn't have approved the FBI siege, but she was under their influence. Administrators have historically found it impossible to control such agencies, BATF or otherwise back to Hoover.

    I fail to see a connection between the branch davidians and some disaffected immigrant russians.
