Well, I think Drain-O and RAID are on the verge of being considered chemical weapons...
I've noticed every substance or chemical of any sort has to be frantically overhyped in any media article.
I guess it's not news if it's not an emergency. </sarcasm>
True. Recently some college kids made a crude 'bomb' out of draino, aluminum foil in a plastic jar. When mixed, the plastic jar exploded. The local media said the youths had made plastic explosivies, I kid you not!
It's dangerous how ignorant the media is one some of the things they report on.
"The horror! The horror..."
Correct. No doubt payed for by US taxpayers.
Just as often it is intentional ignorance. Calling it a plastic explosive is much more sensational than what they actually made.
"This POS does not deserve to be breathing my air.

Seems a little harsh, don't you think? You don't like his art, so he should die? Can you expand on this a little?
Consider this....
The same thing is gonna happen if the EMTs come in your house for anyone with a medical problem, and see some kid's science project with petri dishes.......
Heck, just BUYING petri dishes from somewhere will probably get your phone tapped :-)
Hmmm... Sounds like he would be the kind of guy who could have some good ideas Buffalo's defense. Does the NFL have rules on the use of biologicals?
Probably an old can of Raid.
Yessir! And watch out especially for that highly toxic but relatively unknown chemical dihydrogen monoxide.
I agree. However, there is so often an intentional tendendacy to deliberately mislead. For example, one can attend a public event and sometimes read the report of that event and surmise that the reporter had not really been there, or else they could not have reported the way they did. It seems we are so lacking in journalistic ethics.
Hurumph..Ahem....Cough....ahhh...rhetorically speaking..of course...yeah..that's the ticket..rhetorically speaking...
I've seen Steve Kurtz speak at RPI in Troy, NY. He's a very articulate and sensitive man. His work is about educating the community about biotechnology. All the materials he uses are inert. They are not dangerous whatsoever.
Please don't make generalizations about the "art community." The "art community" is as diverse as humans are diverse. Instead, get educated and then share your opinions about the facts. Thank you.
