Anthrax sprayed from crop dusters would most definitely be a

RadLib ideology if permitted to develop the economics of the world
(which won't happen) would lead us all to poverty, IMHO. But not

capitalist class to be followed by a dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Thus, you should be down there at Ground Zero, calling the Firemen to

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!
