Wouldn't that be a case of the net allowing loopholes - and I don't mean the Internet?

Not if it's 'listening' for credible terrorist threats.

Didn't the 'listeners' hear a threat before 9/11 which was disregarded? I thought I had read that.

I tend to be a bit of a Pollyanna in this regard - if you haven't be doing anything unlawful then you don't have anything to worry about. I'd rather the powers that be catch the ones that intend harm to others than allow them free reign to go about their plotting and terrorism. Maybe if the...

I read his books, some are better than others and I also ordered the DVD of One Shot despite the outcry that Tom Cruise could in no way represent Reacher. He did a credible job in the movie despite his size. I'm wondering how his next book will turn out.

Hi smarie: There are probably people on the forum who would enjoy the book you've read. I'm in the oldster category and read mostly thrillers and mysteries so wouldn't be likely to have picked that book up. It's all a matter of personal taste and if you like a book and enjoy it then mission...

I read this and felt so sorry for Mr. Pirsig - it seems enlightenment came at a terrible cost to himself. Such a tragic way to lose his son. I wonder if being so smart might be a drawback to satisfaction in life although towards the end of the interview it sounds as though he attained a level...

Just as a P.S. to my previous post, I logged on to Amazon and had a look at the books available and saw one which maybe doesn't involve jungle animals, at least I hope it doesn't, called "For Those in Peril" - it should give me an idea of his writing.:)

It was dreary today, not much sun, quite cool, but no rain. Hopefully will be better tomorrow, high of around 70F expected, that's about my favourite temperature - don't like it when it gets up in the 80's.

Thank you Stigmatic for explaining the 'pantoum' form of poetry. :)
