warning!!! be careful with you snail mail! ANTRAX WARNING

[Thordic]

Yup...

Another thing that bothers me about these knee-jerk reactions people have to these scares.

The goal of terrorism is not to kill off your enemy. The goal of terrorism is to create a fear in the population of such massive proportions that it hinders thier daily lives.

Every person who calls in sick to work because they are afraid of an attack, every person who refuses to fly on a business trip because they are afraid of a hijacking, anyone who lets their fear overcome their enjoyment of life and their course of work, these people are handing Bin Laden a victory.

I don't see Bin Laden winning the war, but I do see him winning all too many battles when people forget that the US is supposed to be the home of the brave.

Thank you booyah

Thank you booyah, not everyone shares shartley's opinion. I for one, am thankful for the heads up. That doesn't mean that I am going to throw all my mail away, but if I get something from someone I don't know, I may or may not open it. Shartely, I almost understand how you think that this could spread mass hysteria, but I think it is better to be forewarned and alert than stupid to everything.

Confused?

Slayer,
Thank you for your post. I think you misunderstood what I wrote though. I did NOT say that warning people about it was bad (in fact I said the OPPOSITE)... And since we have already ENDED that issue, and all involved understood the points made (heck, in fact, much more has been posted about FACTS on this issue since the first couple posts, and a couple were MY posts, LOL)... as MajorDamage would say....

ENDO! LOL

(LOL It just fits so many situations.)

[booyah]

slayer,
thats what i was aiming for


I wasnt intending to panic anyone, i was only intending to get their attention and post that batch of facts on antrax

myself and shartly agreed that that was agood thing, he wasnt questioning my reason, just my tactics.


I think he finally found some validity in my tactics, just didnt like them.

I have a kind of mosquito bite on the back of my neck but it doesn't itch like a mosquito bite and I have had it since my 5th period of class. It feels strange. What should I do? I don't want to get carried away with the hysteria but I mean come on.
