I guess guys like Mahr are paid not to have any. The same with the anti-flag people. It so happens that I don't have a flag out and I don't have any negative feeling for anyone else that flys no flag. Only when they climb on to a soap box during a mourning period do they start pissing me off.

But it's okay for them to say what they wish and it's okay for me to jeer. (no stones Mary Ann)

Regarding the heroism of flying into a building. Is it heroic to pass through the turnstyle into Disneyworld? I'll believe the heroism part a lot more when bin Laden starts recruiting atheists to fly the planes. The guys involved are said to have spent their last days enjoying earthly pleasures because they would be totally cleansed of sin by their act. No pain, no suffering, just instant access to paradise. I am not sure that is heroism.
