>>If you dont think its possible then perhaps you just dont see it. Do you. I for one, dont see it as outrageous or laughable. Come jan 1, I might be saying"well it didnt happen", or conversely "wow".<<

Its semantics, Robert. Tharos was the one who suggested the "laugh" aspect. IMO, the odds are so much against it, that I consider the prediction pretty far out there. Outrageous was a word I chose to describe my estimate of the probability. If you object to my terminology, I am happy to substitute yours.

Saw 60 min. Turns out anthrax produces toxic shock. Having promised not to return to the subject of sales to dictators I feel bad about breaking my promise, but other people do it and it's for the children of the dictators. Propose a short letter. Example below.

Dear Dick:

The security of your friends and family are important to you. Today it is not enough to defend against conventional attacks against those who are loyal to you and love you.

Are you preapared to defend against biological weapons? For those who care enough to spend for the very best we offer something the F.D.A., a sister agency of the C.I.A., probably does not want you to have. But for people like yourself who need not ask he permision of anyone we offer you a reformulated supply of bpi, under the name of CYA2.

Avoid the negative effects of toxic shock. Do not depend on having enough time to import a suffient supply of CYA2 after the moment of truth has arrived. Build your stockpile now. Discounts are available on quantity purchases.
