    So what are you saying? I don't think this is any kind of a conspiracy. I just think that whatever group was responsible for the attacks was smart enough to make a few bucks from the aftermath. What do you think?

    A lot of people made a shitload of money in the "aftermath"...
    Toby Kieth has to be in the top 5...all those Sept. 11th songs...

    Lowes and Home Depot cleaned up, selling "recovery tools" to some dimwitted cunt who then "donated" them to the clean-up effort. Oh, and those "recovery tools"...were pitchforks, rakes and shovels.

    Speaking of those two stores...they RAPED people in our area...just like the fucking gas/oil companies do. Right before "Hurricane Issabel" came rolling through, the price of plywood jumped to nearly $35 a sheet. If this country isn't a fucking joke.......
