My sister loaned me a christian type book written by a former Army Doctor of the Soviet Union. It dealt with weapons of mass destruction, and the shit that is just lying around waiting for the highest bidder in the new Russian Federation.
One of the things that came out of the Patriot Act, following 9/11 was some emergency provisions dealing with Bio-Terrorism. The Executive order gave Governors of states broad sweeping powers in the event of a Biological Threat. Interestingly enough, the only damn state that actually ratified this insane shit was the State of Florida, and we all know who's little brother is Governor. The provisions of this crazyness give the Govenor the power to close off and quaranteen entire cities, seize property, and if necessary, burn contaminated buildings without due process of law, or retribution of liability laws. In essence, the State of Florida could deem downtown St. Petersburg "unfit" and bulldoze historic buildings and later allow the construction of condominiums or what-not for the ultra rich. I'm glad I am out. For what it is worth, ya all pay attention to any bullshit health stuff in this upcoming election year. I think that the goddamn Republicans may try to start some kind of Health Scare Bullshit in order to press forth their twisted agenda. I am ready for it and am just glad that I was a part of Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" and was innoculated against most fucking diseases including Small Pox.
