I mean, talk about giving people ideas... I do wish they'd stop saying "Smallpox will probably be next." Are the media reporting the news, or creating it? (Guess that's one of those Eternal Questions, really...) On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

(Actually it does require something not easily taught, especially if the word isn't even in the curriculum - discretion?) Agree - chicken/egg.

Simple substances - one of these fortunately not available just Everywhere - but not a problem to obtain. More I cannot say; not being coy - I dread when it hits the chat rooms and the mouth-breathers, especially in the police-state atmosphere next to follow from The Patriot [!!] Act operative today.
