Deanna - My point was obvious - do you think that OBL or Taliban engineered a new strain of Anthrax?( the US has been working on that for 20 years). That report is wrong, it made no sense. Anthrax is a spoor driven pathogen, on your skin it is non-lethal. If you ingest it, it is non-lethal. It is only if you inhale it that it becomes lethal. Sending it in the mail is not the way to infect people with it.

ok..be calm..sit down and count to ten. Maybe your point was clear to you but it must not have been to me? People sure are getting touchy. They will be declaring marshall law by Feb. People will really wack out over something even bigger. And I would lay odds we get something of some sort thats even bigger. There has been one fatality from anthrax. Are they lieing, probably, but what choice do they have if they are. Americans can't take much, even a gun scares most of them. Just looking at a gun scares most of them. Not that this really has anything to do with anything, but I do love my fellow Americans and sometimes just reading what you think and talking, even if it is a difference of opinion is a comfort. I would rather have you all yelling at me and attacking me then not have you at all. (not that you did hound but I can stir up a hornets nest at times..:)
