Anthrax sprayed from crop dusters would most definitely be a
degradation of the environment.  I see no complaint from your quarter
regarding this El Binzer option stolen from the thwarted plans of
Auric Goldfinger.

RadLib ideology if permitted to develop the economics of the world
(which won't happen) would lead us all to poverty, IMHO. But not
according to many respondents on this list.   Again, Weiss, why
aren't you cheering that the WTC was destroyed?  As a Marxist, you
ought to stick to the program:  A violent overthrow of the criminal
capitalist class to be followed by a dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Thus, you should be down there at Ground Zero, calling the Firemen to
advance upon Wall Street to complete the work that was begun on
September 11.  Move into the breach, knock out the decadent
bourgeoisie, and by dint of your superior oratory (as upon upturned
stone you stand, uploaded to world sattelite networks to your
followers around the world), lead humanity toward equity and heart in
USA!
