RE: [GWL]: Irradiation of Mail & Plant Fallout

Well, personally I don't think this is going to fly.  Let's face it's
going to affect the garden industry, the film industry, magazines and
newspapers, maybe the computer industry...I'm not sure about that one,
but I bet it will. Plus who knows how many more industries will be
affected.

UPS and FED-EX will be so busy that it won't be funny.  Can you imagine
them having to deal with thousands of their overnight envelopes?  They
would have to hire more drivers, our pay rates would all have to go up
to cover the additional postage expenses and on and on.

Now, I ask you...what have these terrorists done?  Basically they have
affected everyone and every industry...exactly what they wanted to do.

What have we done.......exactly what they wanted us to do spend our
lives living in fear, changing our entire system including the way we do
business.

There HAS to be a better answer.  People need to quit thinking out of
fear and think creatively.  After all, our country wasn't founded on
fear.

I received a seed packet with white powder in it.  Our law enforcement
didn't even take it for inspection.  I did get sick, called the hospital
who basically said they couldn't deal with it and insisted on being
transferred to my doctor who gave me some medicine.  Was it antrax?  I
don't know.  I was a sick dog for about 4 days...that I do know.

Just my ranting two cents!  Maybe I should have been a columinist!

Have a great day!
Sheri
