I realize that a lot of people are suffering right now, and that's really sad.
Especially when you realize they don't know how to suffer. They've never
learned, and that's REALLY sad.
But beyond that, we are now being informed that since it was pressure
cookers that were packed with explosives, and the news media is all
in tangled knots over the details -- one said standard 1.6 gallon cookers
and another said 1.6 liter units and another said 1.6 meter pressure
cookers -- that now we are going to have new rules from the Department
of Homeland Security. When you go to a restaurant supply store to buy
a pressure cooker, you're going to need to pass a background check.
There may be a "cooling off period" required. Nothing to do with using
a pressure cooker, of course.
And someone thinks that we need to have new laws regulating the supply
of pots and pans, maybe a new department of Homeland Scurity - the
Pots and Pans Division. I asked, "But isn't that discriminatory? Shouldn't
there also be a Department of Plates, Knives and Forks? How about
Bottles and Cans? Buckets and Bushel Baskets?" Not to be confused
with the BBB, of course.
