Yeah, it wasn't terrible. But it wasn't up there with the Linux
Chainsaw Massacre either.

OTA was killed by Gingrich almost as soon as it was possible for him to do
so, say, 1992...

220 pounds of anthrax spores released from a crop-duster over Washington 
D.C., on a calm clear night - could kill one million to three million 
people in the metropolitan area, according to the US Office of Technology 
Assessment. William Patrick, who served as a UN Inspector in Iraq, believes 
the scenario could take only 100 pounds of the agent.The main detail now is 
to make just work on the honkies.

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and 
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others.  Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the
first place...
