1. Voted other
I'd just wonder what happened and hope no one was killed or hurt.

3. Looks like I won't be watching the Michael Jackson trial today.
Damn, maybe I should get a life and stop caring about pointless bullshit.

4. I voted "other", though I do believe that loosened controls on workplace
safety are a contributor to situations such as these. And it is in character with the Bush administration to loosen these controls. Heck, we can probably blame Reagan or Bush1 for this one.

5. Other.
In a sense, all of the choices you list flash through one's mind. Is it an accident? Is some sick person/people behind it?

It sounds like no one was seriously injured. For that, I am most thankful.

6. I abstain
I dont want to think that a president is capable of such deviously evil plots. I dont want too but after watching micheal moores f911 you cant dispute the facts that chimp co exploited it.
God I miss the gold ole days of superman comics and child hood innocene when everything was bright and bold. And you thought that chimp co was a comic book writers night mare. Okay I degress back in reality mode now :D

8. I see all of the wackos are here today.
Some are turning into doppelgangers of Clinton haters in the 1990s, complete with retarded conspiracy theories.

10. I am a liberal Democrat, so I think whoever did it should have therapy
and I would hope that many US troops were killed in the explosion.

:sarcasm: In case you hadn't figured it out.

16. When a terrible deed is done I think the demand for justice
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 06:04 PM by undeterred
which is also a Christian theme, takes priority.

Forgiveness is hardly ever a gut reaction.

17. I don't know. Buildings blow up in Baghdad every day.
And it's certainly a major city. Can you be more specific?
