Seven months ago, Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Connecticut) said the following regarding citizens of Connecticut:
"You gotta be a fool, frankly, to go on New Year's night to Times Square. I mean, I can't understand why people do that. Just one hand grenade thrown in the air and people panicking. It's just too tempting a target."Well, no argument about New York being a tempting target. I'm just getting a little tired of people, mostly well-meaning relatives who have never visited me here, saying "You're staying in New York for the fourth of July?! Okay, well it's your funeral!" I have a really nice family.
Anyway, I was talking to my friend Doug Jahnke about it and he solved the conundrum thusly: "If terrorists blow up New York, why would you still want to remain alive?"
Good point, if you ask me. No matter what happens, have a great Fourth of July.
