No it definitely wasn't, and it's a shame that the thread devolved to that. Although I don't entirely agree with Muzzleflash, or yourself, I do respect the way you went about presenting your arguments.
I am guilty of responding to the 'crazies', so it's partially my fault the thread took a nosedive. For that I apologise Muzzleflash.

While the attention of the american people and the whole world is focused on what was happening at Boston Marathon and West Texas few days later, House of Representative passes in total silence the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, known otherwise as CISPA.This notorious bill undermines the privacy of millions of internet users. Welcome to the new Age of Control and shrinking of civil liberties under the guise of security. New World Order just sucks!!!
I just hate how sheep we've become as masses.
This is nothing new. Democracy is basically groupthink. People have been worshiping groupthink and collectivism as the greatest thing in the world for a long time. Society (as we know it) is based upon the hive mentality. It has it's advantages but it is obviously not too much fun when you don't conform.
And how is this answering to what I said? Every educated man knows the basic principles of democracy and I for once didn't need your "lesson" on group thinking or collectivism. And you're wrong. We as humans are "special" exactly because of our INDIVIDUALITY. The opposite is the hive mentality, the one I'm referring to in my comment. That is forced upon us, not what we are. And that's the one we should fight.

My question is : Cant this incident be used as an accelerant of debated laws like NDAA, drones, gun control? You do agree that this is a precedent , Right?
Oh without a doubt. I'm pretty sure they had all this going on with the Bush administration but I think they realized it wasn't going to fly with a Republican president. Notice how most of the liberal criticism for big government that we had under Bush evaporated instantly when Obama was elected.
Good! So this very incident can have a big impact on the future of this nation , legislative wise. Right?

Really, let the guys do there jobs, that is what they have been trained for. No conspiracy here about losing rights. I would rather let them do there job than go out hunting for someone who might have grenades and an explosive vest.

Officials: There will be a controlled explosion opposite the library within one minute as part of bomb squad activities.

So when was this, in relation to the bombing? Strange how in every big tragic event, there is a drill being run of the exact same thing.
