re: #31 The Sanity Inspector

I think people have spoken much rubbish about that event [9/11]. The poor revenging themselves on the rich! It’s nothing but an aspect of religious hatred. And that is so hard to deal with, or even contemplate. You can deal with the poor striking out, but you can’t deal with the threat of a universal religious war.

Which of the 9/11 attackers were poor? They were all very wealthy, IIRC.
