-Caveat Lector-
Aleisha, I have just joined this list, and therefore am no expert on its content OR
its members. However, I have spoken the English language for quite some time, and
wonder if you, as well, might give it a whirl. You see, I have joined this list in
order to LEARN, not to become boggled by cryptic nonsense. Also to DISCUSS, rationally
and clearly all manner of conspiracy theory and political information. I have just
recently learned of conspiracy theory and the fact that they exist much farther into
reality than I have ever known, and would appreciate it if you could take a course or
something on how to Speak in a way that sends these (hopefully, in your case)
IMPORTANT messages out in a way so that young grasshoppers such as myself can
understand. Please understand, I am painfully honest, and am not willing to waste my
time reading pages of incoherent mumbo-jumbo. Therefore, if this comes as disrespect,
I apologize that you are weak. If you cannot write more eloquently and clear, you are
pathetically illiterate. Lastly, if this is as good as you get, God help us all, you
are insane. Paula

> If this disease became established, it would shrink our $11.5 billion

> In the decade after World War II, outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in

> foreign animal diseases.
>
> Front entrance of main facility.
> The center is the only place in the country where certain highly
> infectious foreign animal diseases are studied, such as foot-and-mouth
> disease. Our job is to keep these diseases out, by finding quicker ways

> treatments.
>
> The Plum Island Animal Disease Center is part of the U.S. Department of
> Agriculture. Our scientists and veterinarians are with two USDA
> agencies: the Agricultural Research Service and the Animal and Plant
> Health Inspection Service. [Nice to think Gary Condit is on this
> committee and it is obvious some of this stuff is classified, top secret

> ARS operations on the island are part of the agency's North Atlantic
> Area. The NAA encompasses 13 research locations from Maine to West
> Virginia.

> At this web site, you can find out more about the center's mission and
> about the scientists' accomplishments. You can also find out how our
> safety measures ensure that animal pathogens studied at the center
> cannot escape, and that the natural environment is protected.
> Plum Island has a rich history. You can also take a virtual tour of the
> island. And USDA is revamping its public visitor center so you can find
> out more about how the people who work at the Plum Island Animal Disease
> Center protect our food supply, our farmers, and our economy.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
