The current situation on Wall Street

might be scary, but this situation was true terror:

Terror on Wall Street

"Wall Street soon became a symbol of patriotism in the eyes of the country, and stock trading came to be viewed as an act of defiance against the terrorists. Before the attack a number of outspoken citizens had decried the unchecked growth of power underway on Wall Street, but many of those voices fell silent in light of the new public sentiment. Those critics who continued to voice their concerns were denounced as supporters of violence and terror, a trend which rapidly smothered all public debate on the matter."

How giving your hard-earned money to investors to steal from you became a patriotic duty...

(One thing I find interesting is how no one took credit for the bombing. Today you'd have groups lining up to take credit and get their names in the news whether they did it or not. I'm also disgusted at how the bombers deliberately killed an innocent horse to forward their destructive plan. Well, maybe not completely innocent because she did deliver the bomb, but maybe she didn't know what was in the cart? I doubt that he was part of the anarchist group or that she did any planning. She was just a dupe... )
