Check Yourself

On Thursday, a terrorist flew a plane into an IRS building, killing one person and causing millions of dollars of damage.  As you'd guess, he had a manifesto, and his message is that the Government is bleeding the American taxpayer dry; I wonder who's gonna end up footing the bill for this one.

For political messages, bombing buildings can be like yelling and screaming: more people will hear you, but fewer will want to listen.

In one way, its sort of like the PETA stunt from a few years back, when they protested the lobster-industry by buying lobsters then shipping them back to Maine, where they were released into the wild.  The Lobster-Industrial Complex didn't complain about the extra business.  

You always gotta make sure your methods don't undermine your message, otherwise people will realize you're insane; remember this guy?

I should definitely spell-check this post.
