wcbstv.com — On Monday, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg finally weighed in on the JFK terror plot, but his response was not what some would have expected."There are lots of threats to you in the world. There's the threat of a heart attack for genetic reasons. You can't sit there and worry about everything. Get a life," he said.

What Bloomberg is saying is spot on. In fact its how you should deal with terrorism even it does happen. A little kid throws temper tantrums becuase it gets attention. Like a spoilt kid, stop giving 'terrorism' attention and it shuts up.Had America had the attitude that it would not change our way of life, our rights. That we won't let it turn us into paranoid shadows of our former selves under a grey iron sky of big government then we wouldn't be having such howlings at the moon like the 'JFK airport' thing - instead in the words of Bloomberg, "we'd have a life."If extremists believe America oppressive, aggressive and a morally bankrupt society 9/11 was a great opportunity to show them just how wrong they were.Terrorism is a kid having a tantrum. Ignore it.

This comment from him a few years ago earned my respect:Bloomberg was still a mayoral candidate when New York magazine last year asked him whether he had ever inhaled from a marijuana joint. Came his reply: "You bet I did. And I enjoyed it."
