Ted, Ted, Ted...
Mr. Turner lets us know that "The reason that the World Trade Center got hit is because there are a lot of people living in abject poverty out there who don't have any hope for a better life"

Ahhh, that explains it. Just the other day, my mom was telling me stories of when she was growing up during the Depression, and her family lost everything, and they lived in abject poverty, and they had no hope for a better life, that one day everyone in town walked all the way to Birmingham (they had no money for a train ticket) and commandeered the only airplane on the field and loaded it up with gasoline and flew it directly into the City Federal Bank building. Yep, it was in all the papers--"Depression Panic Hits! Poverty-Stricken Rural Dwellers Fly Aeroplane Into Top of Sky Scraper!" She said anyone in town who didn't get on the airplane went and stole some dynamite (she calls it "dynimite") from the mines and wrapped themselves up in it and walked to Birmingham (they had no money for a bus ticket) and blew themselves up along with a bunch of school kids. Yep, it was in all the papers "More Depression Panic! Hopeless Rural Dwellers Commit Act of Self Murder--Take Out Large Group of Children Belonging to Selfish Industrialists!"

Just a thought here--"Let's ignore the idiots."
