Suicide bombers in England could have been arrested before.

It wouldn't surprise me to wake up in the morning and find England on fire. The police have stated that the London bombers were Muslims of Pakistani origin, had been born and brought up in Britain. It seems now that all 4 were suicide bombers.
The worst news is a developing story (Reuters) that three of them have been arrested by the police in the past. The bombers' background has become the subject of a high-profile spat between London and Paris, with Home Secretary Charles Clarke denying comments by his French counterpart that British police had arrested some of the suspects in the past. "It is completely and utterly untrue. I am absolutely staggered he should make that assertion," Clarke told Sky TV. Comments like that are Bad. They indicate denial. Worse still, a British police source said it was possible some of the men might have come to the attention of police in the course of normal criminal investigations.

The English of today aren't known for their racial tolerance, and the racial tension in England is bad enough already. I suspect a lot of mosques will attacked and vandalised now, and I suspect large swathes of the middle-eastern community will become victimised because of this. I forsee riots like England has never known before :-(

It would have been so much better if this had been the IRA.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
