Ron Dempster,
Custodian
"Sept. 11 was meant to weaken our nation's resolve, but it only strengthened it. One or two more attacks should weaken it, though."

Asian Man

Eric Lattimore,
Truck Driver
"Suicide bombing is the coward's way out. Tainting a city's water supply with a rare and lethal compound from deep space is the evil genius' way out."

Old Woman

Tom McEwan,
Systems Analyst
"Did you say I can get unlimited DVD rentals from Netflix.com for just $19.95 a month? Oh, you said suicide bombers may attack here. Never mind."

Black Man

Nate Tucker,
Electrical Engineer
"As long as we heed the vice-president's urging to generally be on alert for things, our nation is impregnable."

Old Woman

Melinda Collins,
Homemaker
"Turn on the TV these days, and all you see is sex and potential violence."

Young Woman

Diana Reese,

"The U.S. is safe, so long as the terrorists don't see us being critical of President Bush."
