    I love this post. I was always amazed at our reaction to 9/11 when we kill off 3000 of ourselves every month in car accidents. But furniture! That's pretty amazing.

    Months after the Rodney King riots, Johnny Cochran leaned into the O.J. jury, and told the jurors, if you find him guilty, those riots will reach your neighborhood.
    Cochran was almost disbarred.
    Fear sells.

    USA spends MORE on military than all countries in the world because of fear.

    The story is great!! But it's true... FEAR is the greatest salesman and perception is reality for the sheep!!

    Watch out for the Attack of the Killer Televisions!!!

    Good thing that Ron Paul didn't get elected, eh? This shit can continue forever- well, until the nation goes bankrupt anyhow. Federal tax revenue is now 16% of the national debt. I'm sure we're not close to it.

    Obviously what America needs now is a Department of Home Furniture Security.

    My kitchen table tried to attack me yesterday but I fought it off. Now I realize that it's a conspiracy.

    Thats why terrorists are going after WMD... try using the same stupid logic with an Israeli. Now ask what should we do to prevent them from aquiring WMD on our soil.

    What are the chances of being killed by a terrorist with your own furniture???????????? This really has me scared, Al Queda used box cutters - nothing stopping them from using a barstool or chair in bar fight style!

    The feds should start a War on Furniture, lets imagine what that looks like (we end up all siting on pillows like japs as hard furniture is outlawed?!)
