I did a thread on that explosion last year on the 65th anniversary (see signature for thread) as my grandfather is one of the people who was killed by the blast.
Yesterday was the 66th anniversary, so there have been a lot of tragedies in April over the years.
Sorry for your loss. This one is almost to the day as well, tragic.

Listen, and believe me, I'm not trying to be rude or sarcastic or anything else at this point. Whether the country is under some sort of attack, be it internal external political in nature or literally like in boston, is up for plenty of debate. I think you would find that I am moreso in your corner of this fight than the one that ignores all things going on as if its just another sunny day.
On that note, I am going to politely lean towards this not being done intentionally against America at this time. If something comes down the pike to make me feel otherwise, then I will personally apologise to you and the other gent. that I obviously offended in earlier post by thinking this is more than likely a terrible, terrible accident opposed to being the right wing or al queda.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to do the dishes......

It is, its tragically coincidental or syncronicity run amok. The first thing that ran across my mind when it broke on twitter was an attack, but then I looked a little closer and it APPEARS to be an accident. I could be wrong though, time will tell.
Things happening in close conjuncture like this, Boston, and the ricin letters whips our nightmares into a froth.
I'm trying to keep from grabbing the b.o.b just yet.

That made me smile, thank you for that! Kindness is a fleeting trait around these parts sometimes. I can definitely see why everyone(including me) is on edge. The only reason I did say right wing or al queda is because on one hand ol' Alex Jones is screaming from the rooftops that "their gonna blame this on the patriots!" while if you watch MSM, they sure are strongly hinting without saying that this has al quedas fingerprints all over it.
Truthfully, I don't know what to make of every day bringing something else to the table to contend with. I'm just trying not to scream fire. Heck, I've got a wife that I have to convince every now and then that everythings gonna be alright. North Korea isn't gonna nuke us. This isn't the end of days. Then when she walks away satisfied at my answers to her questions I have to convince myself of the same thing.
These times are scary, no doubt. And I certainly wasn't trying to make enemies with you, so I do apologise for coming off very condescending. I think its safe to say my nerves are a little worked up at the moment.
