Email From London
Here is part of an email I received today from my long-time (daren't say "old"!) friend in London:
Its awful but at least the casualties weren’t as high as yours. I worry about the muslims here, the Brits are far less tolerant than the Americans and far quicker to hurt people. Those that will do this will not be intelligent enough to realise the muslims as a people are not responsible but a few madmen and there will be those looking for someone to blame and unfortunately they will be it. No doubt somewhere along the line the blame will be levelled at Israel, it usually is, just like 911 was.London was deserted last night so goodness what this will do to small businesses. Public transport is crap at the best of times, now it will be a bigger problem because people will use their cars and Livingston the mayor has spent years trying to cut down on the cars! Mind you he is anti-jewish and says the suicide bombers have a point, I wonder what his opinion will be of suicide bombers now they did it in his back yard!!!
This lady has traveled extensively, especially to the States. She thinks, for example, that the U.K. is twenty years behind the USA in certain technologies. So, to note that the bigotted, racist America (according to certain segments) is more tolerant than our British cousins is quite a statement.
I'm working up a concept in my mind: all the billions spent on public transportation and it turns out to be a huge safety risk. Wonder what the socialists will say about that?
