The "prepping" excuse

Prepping for bird flu isn't a very good excuse. Excuse for what? Being a racist pig:

A former British National Party member from Lancashire accused of plotting to make bombs from chemicals he bought on the internet has claimed the substances were for cleaning his false teeth and unblocking drains.

Robert Cottage, 49, of Colne, told Manchester Crown Court he thought some of the other chemicals could be used to protect him from bird flu and purify water if supplies were cut off during civil unrest - two of his greatest fears. (Pendleton Today)

I know. Some of you might be saying, "Hey, I'm concerned about the immigration problem too. And I'm worried there will be a problem with the water supply." But have you also laid in an arsenal of crossbows, air pistols, BB guns, a pipe hand greande and dynamite? How about downloading The Anarchist Cookbook's detailed instructions on how to make a Molotov cocktail "out of idle curiosity"? If they searched your house would they find nitrates, chlorine, ammonia and acids to go with the detailed instructions for explosive devices?

Prepping for bird flu? I think not.

There are a couple of things that Im getting over and over and over, from readers/friends/family/overheard in the grocery store, and its driving me nuts. READ THIS NPR SUMMARY
OK, they're not cities, they are states. Or cities in states. Whatever. But when it comes to flu shots they are quite different. First benighted Mississippi:
It is Influenza Season in the Northern Hemisphere. So, this is a good time to talk about the flu.
You have to move fast these days to keep up with the flu. Or outrun it. A quick roundup from the last 24:

All racists should download the A. Cookbook without a doubt. While I agree 100% illegal immigration is a problem, legal isnt. You are afforded the right to be a racist under just about every constitution in the world, you just cant act upon it. The US is a nation of immigrants, mostly legal. I would cap a jihadist in a heartbeat but not someone who practiced their hate in the privacy of their own living room. I would cap them just as I would a mad dog. Legal immigrants have just as many rights as I do to be here and dont forget it.

Back to the cookbook though. By all means the Klan and SkinHeads, neo -Nazi's should download and start to make IED's and other weapons. There are a lot of steps and safety precautions that need to be added to it and I can safely say that if they used the Cookbook that it will be a self correcting problem. Or you'll need a whole boxload of new radicals to take their place.

Evolution in action. LOL.

For once, Randy and I are in full agreement.

A lot of stuff in the Anarchist's cookbook is wrong and likely to hurt you if you try it.

whups, someone else beat me to it. :)
