Taken from a Minneapolis Star Tribune interview with author Vince Flynn:


Q With all the time you spend thinking about terrorists, is it hard to raise your three kids to be curious, yet cautious?


A No. They don't need to know everything I know yet. Don't trust people who drive vans with no windows, that's what I tell them.

I don't about you guys but I sure don't trust a Van driver who is driving with NO windows. How are they supposed to see what they are going to run into? Thats assuming that they are "normal" Van drivers.

Remember the "Urban Assault Vehicle" in Stripes? It can be done.

Also, please define "normal".

Jim, being that this thread has had a great run; and is or could be the longest running and most replied to thread, and the fact that I am not a moderator, although I am here to protect and serve, I will lift the lock on this thread. I do see this thread not going anywhere overly productive though.

Continue on!

I noticed this morning that the pharmacy charged our insurer $35 for a prescription that was filled through our new drug plan. Previously we were used to paying $22 for the exact same thing, when we were paying for it ourselves out of our own pocket.

Disgusting.

This morning I went to Tim Horton's to get 2 coffees, the same size and fixins but one with sugar and one with sweetener. The nightshift employees were still on duty, and they were kids. On top of having no timbit for my dog, because there were none ready yet, they mixed up the coffees. They marked the one with sugar as having sweetener. No big deal right?

Do they think that perhaps not everyone who uses sweetener is doing it just to watch calories or for personal preference? Nope. So now a diabetic sets out for their day, drinking an extra-large coffee with a dose of double sugar, unbeknownst to them. Or the hypoglycemic person sets out for their day thinking they've made sure their sugar level won't deplete, when in fact they got a double dose of sweetener.

Practically everything is automated. They push a button to get the correct measurement of cream and sugar or sweetener, according to the size of coffee ordered. They push a button to figure out how much to charge and how much change to give back. But no matter how much they dumb down the jobs, it seems they just can't dumb them down enough.
