a plane crash?

austin isn't THAT big. and i know it was only a 4 passenger dinky plane, but ... a plane still flew into a building ten minutes from campus. i feel like we should have heard or noticed it.. or maybe the whole campus just walks around with ipods in their ears and don't care.

i hope the mortal damage was minimal.

food for thoughtso i read the man ( Read more... )

I'm watching CNN right now. They're saying only two people were injured. And the pilot's dead, of course. His anti-government manifesto is an interesting read, though.

is it? i've got it pulled up, i just got distracted by an online quiz lol - i heard on the radio that he was angry with the IRS, burned down his house and then flew into the building with IRS offices. like.. seriously, if you own a plane.. why can't you pay taxes?

(of course, my gov't teacher would argue, "there's nothing more american than apple pie and avoiding taxes")

Well, I always enjoy anti-government manifestos.

you know, while i never think i'd have put it that way, i completely agree. and what i've read so far (HOLY CRAP THIS GUY IS LONG-WINDED!) of his freaking doctoral thesis is everything i agree with. i guess it's a pity he didn't think to share his message in a less negative way.
