GOOD, BUT ICKY

Ah, poor John Poindexter. It seems he came with an idea to help predict future terrorist attacks, only it was in very poor taste. A futures market was created to get people to guess when the next terror attack occur, with those that got it right making big profits. Unfortunately, it is actually a good idea, it probably would work. Terrorists can’t help but want to make a few greenbacks and would get themselves in on this deal. But, it is in terrible taste. Poindexter is going to be sacrificed for this blunder and justifiably so. Even if this worked, and I think it would, Americans will never accept it, just like cigarette companies aren’t allowed to raise the real facts of the economic savings of early mortality rates for smokers. We can accept a lot, but money made on the death of real people is just too much for us.
