So should this be only for the rich? If you can afford it you pay for it at an approved lab? Sucks if you have not had a job in 20 years because you have been in jail that long. Or do you let the people who can pay for it go first? Then when that volume is null then put in the poor folks? I know it is the American Way! What if there is not enough substance left for a comparison? Are you now screwed? This brings a whole lot of OBTW issues up. Proper storage of specimens from the early 80s. Can you sue the government because the evidence is now worthless? If someone were to win on that stupid notion, aka O Jay, does everyone get a monopoly get out of jail free card? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
