So you've heard about the latest domestic terrorism incident? They found a vial of ricin at a post office in South Carolina.

"Officials said a note inside the letter warned that large quantities of the poison (ricin) would be dumped into the nation's drinking reservoirs if the federal government did not reverse a rule requiring truckers to rest after 10 hours of driving, officials said."

Gah, I am pissed at myself. I accidently deleted the second half of a show I wanted to watch on PBS called The Aleutians: Cradle Of The Storms. It wasn't really that great a show in all honesty but then there aren't a hell of a lot of shows on the Aleutians to compare with and I was enjoying the nostalgia the pictures of the wind swept tunda fields and frozen seas evoked. It was what my mother would have called a "poor little indian" show going on to sacharain length about how the poor Aleuts got screwed over by the various invading races (Russians, American, and Japanese). It's true, they did get screwed but not all that signifigantly more than any other indigenous race living somewhere people with bigger guns wanted, and infact signifigantly less than alot of other races who lived in more desirable or dealt with less humane invaders.

Still the anthropology, history, and other information on a place I used to live was kinda cool and I was really looking forward to seeing it. I could buy it (though not online for some stupid reason) but we can't spare the cash.
