I was at the bank today, and they had a TV displaying headlines, stock quotes, etc. I don't know their feed source. Big read-it-across-the-room print so minimal detail. One page that flashed up was about "CIA list of Japanese Spies Posted To Internet" :-) Another was about "Hospitals stock up on bioweapon defenses for Democratic Convention". It's been interesting to watch the bioterrorism spin doctors pumping up the American public about how we need to be afraid, be very afraid, because terrorists are hiding under the bed. Any guesses whether this is the Pentagon trying to get some leverage on the Democrats or whether it's the Democrats trying to get some leverage for their friends in the bio-fear business? Why aren't the Republicans getting any protection against terrorists? Will they stage a minor incident at either convention? I assume there will be large numbers of people trying to dose the Democrats with poisonous biological materials, primarily ethanol and tobacco products. The Libertarian Party convention had a lamer choice of ethanol, but better choices of things to smoke (:-) I'd speculate the Greens did also. The Reform Party Convention will have its own toxicity problems just dealing with Pat Buchanan, though perhaps the yogi flying squad will calm it down. Thanks!
