On Going Legit

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, October 7. 2008 15:14
One wonders at what point in time my mortal enemies will "go legit," and finally admit that they are on the side of the terrorists?

A Palestinian smuggler communicates with others on the other side of a tunnel used to import goods from Egypt to the Gaza Strip in Rafah refugee camp, southern Gaza Strip, Sunday, Oct. 5, 2008. Gaza's smugglers are going legit: The owners of hundreds of tunnels running under the Gaza-Egypt border have registered with the Hamas authorities, signed pledges to pay workers' compensation and hooked up their underground operations to the local electricity network.

How sad is it that in this era of instant communication, the largest of all the news organizations takes the word of terrorists at face value, yet questions every word issued by the American government?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Brian, it's worse than that. These idiots who purport to be finders of "legit" news, actually believe that having people register their illegal tunnels that are dug illegally under state borders with a terrorist organization actually makes the whole endeavor legitimate.

Just because they "registered" then they are legal and valid. But, what makes them even better than American corporate scrooges? They at least pay workman's comp and electrify their tunnels.

They are enlightened and are worker friendly compared to America's businesses like Wal-Mart.

*Just thought of this.... what might even be worse....

The governments still freely allow these reports to continue without any follow-up.

If these governments were truly interested in ending this practice, then they would follow these reporters who have done these stories. Tail them and then BLOW UP the stupid tunnels along with both ends.

Of course, that would be AFTER the smugglers were busy tunneling.
