Ah yes, Terrorism...another excuse for The D.O.H.S. to invade everyone's
lives.  It sounds like you've been to Iowa recently.  Seriously though, I
hear, unofficially, that we're the meth capitol of the US.  Easy to believe
with all of the farmers that leave ammonia tanks out in their fields.  No
terrorism, just people ruining their lives.  Although I'm not sure many
terrorists OR meth-heads would use an onstar vehicle in their exploits.

Boy I hate it when "someone" is keeping a close eye on me while I'm out
buying naphtha and high nitrogen fertilizer.

Of course!  Only a fool doesn't... and we're only fools about VWs!
