My first instinct would be to ask Jeremy Rifkin and his minions for their alibis. However, it looks too sophisticated (and expensive) for greenie Luddites to pull off. The questions that always have to be asked: 1) Who profits? 2) Who would want them dead? Maybe someone is planning a big bio attack and wants to degrade our ability to respond?

Jeremy Rifkin, huh? The only other time I heard of him was at the City University of New York. An essay of his -- quite readable, as I recall -- on time and modernity was assigned by the radical profs designing a dumbed-down, experimental examination that was supposed to cover up the total collapse of academic standards, and give the impression that functionally illiterate students were competent.
