Let's say YOU wanted to kill a lot of people and be famous
How would you do it?

Would you weaken regulations so that children's toys with lead could be easily imported?

Would you lie to start a war with a much smaller and weaker country?

Would you repeatedly ignore warnings about an imminent terrorist attack and go on vacation instead? And when the terrorist attacks occurred, would you strong-arm the EPA to lie about air quality?

Would you put incompetents in charge of FEMA?

Would you push for less regulation of air and water pollution?

Would you ignore all warnings about the deleterious effects of global climate change?

Would you veto legislation that would provide health care for children?

Just how would YOU do it?

4. you know....
The whole thing about going postal is so over rated. Yeah, you get fame, but it's without glory. And frankly, that's not the kind of fame I want.

I want the truly trashy temporary kind: person sues denise miller for running over foot. :) That's the fame I want..

9. I find murderous medical doctors even more repulsive than *.
Doctors kill ~200,000 people every year. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/11856.php
