I think I read a post sometime in the past couple of weeks about a truckload of candy being stolen, but turning up later with none of the candy missing.
Does anyone remember this or did I dream it? I searched for the thread and can't find it.

Did you actually even read the article? It says that 2 Arab men bought $35,000 worth of candy, paid in cash, and had a fake Costco I.D. Doesn't that make any alarm bells ring in your brain? Or are you a member of the "move along, nothing to see here, go buy a new car" crowd?
I don't know of anyone in my neighborhood who spends $100 on candy, much less tens of thousands (and there are tons of kids around here, several Halloween parties, too). But to each his own, huh? Trick or treat!

I was thinking/posting about the same thing, a week ago. I gave myself a tinfoil disclaimer at that time, but I'll take the hat off, now.
Smallpox and food distribution
Hadn't thought about the wildfire spread via the school system and the warning about America's children/America's mothers crying. Excellent post, OKC.

Unfortunately, there is nothing listed in the NBC Guidebook except the alcohol and acetone mix for one hour quoted, which is obviously an equipment decontamination. The standard decontamination for skin offered for BW weapons is a 1 to 10 mix of off the shelf bleach to water (this renders a 0.5 % sodium hypochloride solution) which is to be applied for 15 to 20 minutes. I've also heard that this recommendation is going to be increased to a 15% mix, due to the increased persitence of some weaponized BW agents. 5% is recommended for equipment, which is almost straight from the bottle for off the shelf bleach (Chlorox, for instance is actually 5.25% as sold). I have also seen UV rays for recommended clothing. The acetone and 'alcohol for an hour',however, tells me this is some pretty hot stuff.

"The acetone and 'alcohol for an hour',however, tells me this is some pretty hot stuff."Wellll...
I've been downing acetone and alcohol all day, so I'm ready.
To: Sabertooth
Why are these people still in our country? When are we going to do the right thing and
send them all home?
To: Thisiswhoweare; Sabertooth
Thisiswhoweare Thanks for the info.
Sabertooth LoL I would like to think tequila would work as well as acetone.

Sorry Stefan, that Doc that was on Fox today, and one that was on Friday says our vaccines are not any good! About a month ago I got and email telling of a terrible disease being spread through some form of a spongue in the mail....looked it up and of course it was a hoax. However, anthrax is flying around everywhere in the mail!

I am reminded of the time when I was a child, one Saturday morning my father and I went out to feed our chickens and gather some eggs for the customary family weekend breakfast. I figure that we must have had at least 20-30 of them (chickens). "They sure are quiet this morning" my dad mumbled to himself with a very visibly concerned frown on his face. As we neared the coop there was kind of a foul odor hanging in the still morning air. He slowly opened the coop door. "Stay outside!" he barked as he stepped inside. There was a lot of yelling of some very angry words that I was not used to hearing coming from my fathers mouth. I ran inside to find out what was wrong. What I saw inside was not very pretty. It was very obvious that our much anticipated Saturday morning breakfast would have to wait. Suddenly I did not have an appetite any more because inside I gazed upon all of our chickens strewn about, ravaged and bloody....motionless and very very dead. "Foxes" my dad repeated over and over... "Damn foxes." I am starting to experience the same sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. Just as I did so many years ago. Only this time I seem to feel much like those poor chickens that went to rest one evening and never lived another day again. Only this time on a much much larger scale. I try pinching myself in hopes of waking myself up from this bad dream about some terrorist foxes running loose inside the only home that we have. This home that we call America, the land of the free. These foxes are here dwelling inside our country waiting to shed the blood of the innocents.

You are correct. Good observation and good info.
To: NetSurfer
Last week I was suggesting that we should keep calm about the anthrax scares. I still feel that way. We won't help each other by exacerbating our fears. The President said some good things in his speech before the Congress. Love yOUR kids.
I still feel that way. Maybe the idea of sending our children around to neighbor houses isn't such a great idea. I used to get a kick out of collecting great candy bars from the rich man down the street. But, in the end, don't most American mom's end up worried about the candy anyway? Why put your family through the worry? Maybe instead, this year, you patriotic moms can get the kids and moms together at a home and play some Fall games (bobbing for apples? Pin the tail on the Donkey? Patriotic music and teach our kids about the Civil War and American values (instead of how to buy more junk food and acting like goblins and demons)?
Call me old-fashioned, but is there anything wrong with NOT choosing to change this modern-day ritual? This is a great opportunity for those freeper mom's to lead with grace and boldness.
Don't leave your kids in the dark and isolated! Get them together with other neighborhood or family members and let them play! After all, if our children can't learn to form good bonds and friendships and trust, then the terrorists have not only created immediate problems. If our children can not learn to trust, it will destroy our economy and our society for 100 years or more
So, my suggestion is this. Instead of having your children run around and having no idea where or who is interacting with your child; moms should be calling other moms and throwing smaller parties for their kids.
