From the Washington Post:



"We didn't think that anybody could come up with the appropriate coatings for anthrax spores to make them float through the air with the greatest of ease," Zelicoff said, adding that exposing 28 people with a single opened envelope "is no mean trick."

And C.J. Peters, director of the Center for Biodefense at the University of Texas at Galveston, said that someone who has learned to produce two grams of anthrax spores milled to one to five microns -- as was true of the spores mailed to Senate Majority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) -- could just as easily produce two kilograms of the stuff.

He sees the potential for a grander terror.

"With two grams of finely milled anthrax," Peters said, "if you can disseminate it in a closed system like a subway or building, you could infect hundreds of thousands of people."



So it's escalating. It's not just the occasional thing. The attacks are becoming more common, and are hitting more people.

"Hundreds of thousands of people". Hundreds of thousands of people. That's a lot. I mean, that just leaves me speechless.

On another thing: I just read that that Sept. 11th attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 4,700 people. I didn't know the number. When it first happened, I remember people talking about how it would be at least 10,000 dead. Well, that's one thing to be thankful for.

But maybe those people who are sending anthrax are hoping to get the death toll up. Maybe they won't stop until they get it up into the 10,000 range. Maybe they won't even stop then. Think about life would be like then. I think we might have nuked their country by then. And what would that result in? Someone nuking us? End of the world as we know it? Are we talking about the return of Jesus Christ? Relevations?

I just looked outside. The trees are turning colors- brown, red, orange and yellow. The sun is shining. Everything looks peaceful, quiet. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the end of the world.

"This is a very unusual period in American history, obviously. We've never been attacked like this before. We're still being attacked," he said.
