Dowd on our priorities, Moore, and Left Behind

Beware the terrible breast bombs. If we were buttoning up the borders and making the airlines safer, unbuttoning and being patted down in public would be more bearable.
Maybe we're not at the Philip K. Dick level of technology yet. But how about some positive profiling? If airport security can have a watch list for the bad guys, why can't it develop a watch list for the good guys? Can't there be a database of trustworthy American frequent travelers who are not going to secrete things in their bras? After all, no one is going to sneak anything in there without our knowledge. Can they at least get a screen?

Also Kristof on 'Left Behind' - The "Left Behind" book series, which predict the slaughter of everyone who is not a born-again Christian, is highly lucrative hatemongering. In the final book the Prince of Peace and Love and Forgiveness tosses all those who refuse to worship him into the pit for an eternity of torture.

I am so glad I'm an Universalist.
