Banks are run by executives, and executives protect themselves, and that does not always mean that banks are going to behave rationally.
There's never a dearth of reasons to shoot at the President.
When my father became vice president, I was a sophomore in high school. I'd do things like go on a run with my soccer team and purposely dodge the security van. Then my parents compromised with the Secret Service when I went to college. I just had a panic button in my dorm room, so if I pressed that, they'd be there within 2 or 3 minutes.
The Secret Service is under orders that if President Bush is shot, to shoot Vice President Quayle.
Joking about the "incompetence" of Vice President Dan Quayle. Kerry later apologized for the joke.
A president is always cosseted by his staff.
Corporations are legal fictions created by the State to shield executives from liability… It’s like if I had a little hand-puppet, and I went to rob a bank, and the hand-puppet held the little gun and told people to hand over all the money, and then the hand-puppet grabbed the money and ran out, and then I got caught and I handed the hand-puppet over the police and then the police tried the hand-puppet, put the hand-puppet in jail, and I get to keep all the money.
I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.
The first goal of the technostructure is its own security.
Typically, you get a year in prison for making a threat to assassinate the president.
