people who might have had anthrax in the past went
undiagnosed. Only difference is they didn;'t get it mailed to them in an
envelope addressed to Tom Brokaw, I guess. \.... I also
have a very hard time believing it can be so incredibly hard to beat if your
immune system works well and you get a quick diagnosis. Once again
though....
live, die, whatever.

mk5000" not to bash the suns, just my opinion....they dont
play defense. you cant win a title without defense. and they cant play
defense. look at their core. nash, marion, stoudamire. these guys are
thouroughbreds, built for running the court. but they arent defenders by
any stretch. and probably never will be."--Lee Watkins

I'd bet a million dollars the unabomber read something, somewhere, at some
time, about
something being bombed, and got his ideas from that.

I read this really good article once, I wish I had saved it, I can't
remember
where I saw it, but it was many years ago. There is no way I can begin to
be as
articulate as that article was, but it was one of the only things I ever
read
in my life that really caught my attention and made me think,,, and I agreed
with it 100%. Essentially, it was about the human mind. Mostly it was about
people's propensity towards the occult, and ghosts, and UFOs and stuff like
that, but it also covered other stuff. The jist of the article was that the
human mind is "finite" and basically dull, and does not have the capacity to
"create" anything on it's own. It went on to give all these examples and
proof
of how nothing that has ever been "reported" as having been seen or thought
ever came from "nothing".... each example came from a REAL thing that
someone
had seen or heard. (I told you I couldn't explain it well, and I'll give you
100 bucks if you can find the article, because I have now wished many times
that I could find it.) For example, it said that the mind was not able to
think
up a UFO, a space alien, or a ghost etc., unless ONE person somewhere
sometime
had actually SEEN a real one and put the idea into someone's head, and then
it
gets "picked up" by other brains, via media or books or word of mouth or
whatever. More or less, it was trying to say that humans have NO capacity
for
creativity at all and that everything they have ever thought of, always
originated from at least one "concrete" thing that really happened. And the
mind was incapable of making "something" from "nothing". And it was written
so
well, that i totally agreed.

Same goes for the anthrax guy, or the unabomber, or any other terrorists.
None
of them, I surmise, "created" these ideas in their own brain matter, from
nothing. Everything they think of is a spin-off of something else. It's just
a
matter of whose brain spins the fastest.

This theory is even more interesting to me than the "first guy who invokes
Nazi
Germany in an argument loses" theory. (What was that called again?)

And is there a new one named yet, for "first guy who invokes 9/11 terror
attacks in an argument loses" ???
