Anthrax
Okay..anthrax sucks. There, I said it. Now why isn't anyone else saying it?
So.. maybe others are saying it.
Evil and hatred link the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States and the sending of anthrax through the mails, President Bush says.
"Both series of actions are motivated by evil and hate. Both series of actions are meant to disrupt Americans' way of life. Both series of actions are an attack on our homeland. And both series of actions will not stand," the President said in October 24 remarks to employees at a privately owned printing plant in Glen Burnie, Maryland, outside of Baltimore.
"We're learning about terror and evil, and our country is responding forcefully. The American people have got remarkable spirit and remarkable resolve. We are strong, we are united, and we are determined to prevail," he said.
Oh, well that's good. I guess.

What is anthrax?
Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild and domestic lower vertebrates (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes, and other herbivores), but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or tissue from infected animals
I don't know about you, but I have been sort of wondering what anthrax really was. Well, I knew what it was, but I didn't understand where all it came from or why it was around.
