  1. Ben's Bible must have been watered down.

  2.  @rontyler1234  Agreed; what's your point? Farmers in Thailand, let alone Haiti, were never going out to BM. If yours is a stance of fighting for economic equallty /"Justice", you are wasting your time. There are better and vastly more actionable targets. BTW you eat a hamburger in an American fast food joint: you already gave up any right to lecture others worldwide about privilege.

  3.  @vlada  yes,it is far-fetched. Is it absolutely impossible? No / probably not. But it would take a series of highly improbable events for it to be a credible threat. Think about it: the Superbowl would present a much higher risk of mass contagion, given that the logistics for getting out to BRC are far more challenging than just driving to a stadium.Don't you remember from your last Burn?

  12.  @farmcat3198  No, whenever you get tens of thousands of people gathering for a good time, odds are that some will take scheduled drugs. OTOH the perception that it's a mecca for zonkers is false -as attested by Katyal, who is an officer of the Court.

  13. BS. You gotta love these goofy supplications for Divine Wrath: I had been there 9 times, but BRC had not been scourged I like these words from the aftermath of the 1906 fire in San Francisco: If,as they say,God spanked the town For being over-frisky: Why did He burn the churches down And save Hotaling's whiskey?
