"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Well I truly have to question if perhaps the terrorists are gaining ground when we now run away from bottled water. Today there was a Times Square suspicious package placed outside the Marriott Marquis. The bundle was actually a cooler that had inside of it some bottled water. I comprehend the paranoia considering this really is just days after Faisal Shahzad tried to set off a automobile bomb in the very same block, but this really is New York. They are certain to have things ditched every day there, are we likely to run from anything left by someone?
