Lead?????? What????Apples to apples and oranges to oranges...
I guess you're calling Rudolph Guliani a coward, John Kerry, and the Bush admin cowards.
You don't think that having airplanes taking out a couple buildings is reason for a frenzy???

Shall we wait for a Nuke to take out a city?? You should tell that to the people of NY. Now, I don't really think that Gold Bar is on anyone's hit list so you are probably safe there. As far as the LA riots were concerned. The NG was called in and the Gov at the time did issue a state of emergency and call up guard members. (Don't understand why that was even brought into the conversation) Should we go to war with California, is that you implication? As far as drunk drivers, I will be the first to tell you that they scare the hell out of me. I change plans, avoid driving and even being out on certain holidays and certain times of night due to them. I will try and take anything I can personally control that may inflict pain and hurt on my family. There has been a war going on against drunk driving for sometime now, look how the laws have changed for them. When the laws started getting stricter you were hearing a lot of the same grips you are now...Infringing on rights, govt getting into personal business....
I guess there is sort of a simularity between the two though. Neither is a situation where there will be a winner. All you can do with both is hope to contain and make it as hard as possible for either action to be accomplished. Were always gonna have drunks and there is always gonna be someone pi$$ed of at America as long as we have the ball. One more thing, there will always be some wacked out politician that thinks they have the best idea on how to resolve both...
