I can imagine the motive - the reason behind the anthrax? - was to spend our tax dollars buying this equipment, in order to further enrich the corporate class. Or am I just being cynical, hmmm? -- Robert Farr (540) 668-7160 Check out http://www.thechileman.com for Hot Sauces, Salsas, Mustards

Allan: Your info about irradiation is out of date. The DC post office (Brentwood?) is currently irradiating mail. I understand all the govt. POs are also doing this (this from a source at FEMA). It's worse than you think. Can someone out there give us more info about who and where??? I have

How much do you trust your government? The Anthrax circulated by mail in the US is a strain unique to the US Government. It is a contact only form and as such does not pose a risk outside the actual target or very close by. It is not suited to use in an act of terrorism. The scatter is a bit
