Think we are safe? Here is part of an article from RM's trailer blog on 9/11.
If Ivins was indeed responsible for the attacks, did he have any assistance? Did anyone else at the Army lab or elsewhere have any knowledge of his activities prior to, during, or shortly after the anthrax attacks? . . . It appears increasingly likely that the only significant bioterrorism attack in history may have originated from right within the biodefense program of our own country.  The implications for our understanding of the bioterrorism threat and for our entire biodefense strategy and enterprise are potentially profound.

What about the anthrax attacks???Never mind the buildings coming down.

Why,who ,how were these attacks done?Is it not part of those in charge of the world plans to look for cheap ways to kill a lot of people?I have heard that they want the population reduced to 500 million.In spite of all the fear it generated very few people were killed by it the 9/11 anthrax attack.So let lets talk about a world with only 500 million people in it.After several years I think the wild animals would come back to eat those in charge of that world.They would grow in numbers.The big cats that sneak around and kill livestock now would be killing humans on a more regular basis.I saw about 19 different types of big cats in the USA at a zoo in AZ once.So theres more to worry about that just lions and tigers!I was scared to see them to think that they even exist!triffid

...So a man could step inside and look outside as things appear to him to be speeded up while time for him flows at a much slower rate.A man would age a lot slower too.triffid

triffid,
Did you know this was a plot point in one of Robert Heinlein's books?  A day-old chick was put into a test chamber of a time compression field machine and it was turned on.  The chick was "no hungrier after a week than other chicks."
    The time polarity was reversed and the chick was long dead and rotted in a second or less.

Heinlein said something about differential equations being involved in the development of this device.  It's science fiction, though.

REEDIT:
Amazing!  101 pages for this thread.  166 poll respondants.  Who ready for 200 pages?

Big lee ,I think I read the same science fiction story back in highschool then  got an idea 20 years later how to do it.I also have some ideas on gravity I need to write down somewhere.I can explain gravity and the lack of it but not anti-gravity.I will be watching for the day that no country on earth will lend us money.Then I know our government will go into overdrive on the printing press.And hyperinflation will be on its way.But when I hear Ron Paul talk about what we need to do avoid whats coming I realize the solutions are not that hard,But the political will is not there to make the hard choices.I do know we had 9% inflation last month.I can still find bargains in the stores for now.I do believe gold and silver will continue to climb as the dollar is debased.You have one group of people who want entitlements and one group who wants military spending left alone.I want my entitlements left alone.I think you want yours left alone too.I earned mine by paying into the system for 39 years.triffid
