You, Paul, and others can analyze, contextualize, apologize, and otherwise
vocalize about terrorism, but by definition it threatens society and must
be exorcized. Congratulations to the British police for capturing the
would-be terrorists so quickly and efficiently--a perfect example of the
social level cleverly and forcibly taking on the biological level and
winning! That's the kind of off-the-shelf answer that will defeat the
bastards.
