Land of Oz

That's Why!

I hope you read the letters to the editor in the newspaper. There are some that are well-written and understandable. There are those that thank or bitch at the local cops, and those young ones who gripe at the old ones and the old ones who gripe at the young ones. Some folks thank their next door neighbor and others curse the day the neighbor ever moved in.

And then there's the wackos. You know the ones, the conspiracists, those who are sure the government is behind every possible problem that might ever have happened. There are the religious fanatics from any side for any god. Even the atheists have their fanatics who feel if you do believe, you're doomed.

There's one this week that takes the cake however. This guy knows why the Twin Towers collapsed after the 9/11 attack. There's no mention of terrorists or aircraft packed full of aviation fuel. Nothing about a multi-ton burning container of fuel running into a building. The actual reason for the collapse are the environmentalists! Yes, because of the environmentalists, the asbestos wasn't sprayed onto the steel framework and allowed the building to collapse. How about that. All this time, money and lives we've wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan for nothing. We should have been bombing the local Greenpeace offices.
