NOW who's being insufficiently skeptical? but I'd advise that you do address it, because the same old, same old is too dangerous to keep on going. Are you threatening me?

Mr. Laser Beam wrote: Then blame L.A., not the entire US government. Sorry, but the policies of a federal government affect those of a state/province and city, and the policies of all three men were what was responsible for what really happened in the episode.
