I work about a half a block from the AMI building...

And am laughing my ass off at all these smokin', drinkin, fast (and processed) food eatin, out of shape people who worry about anthrax. Jesus H. Christ, your chances of getting anthrax is like a million times less than having a heart attack from all the crap you eat...

Actually you are far more likely to:

Die in a car accident
Die of cancer
Die of a stroke
Die of AIDS
Be murdered by a family member

Than you are likely to be killed by a terrorist.

The bark is worse than the bite people...lighten the fsck up.

In a way it's ironic, but, many of those items you mentioned we have a range of control over. People can choose what they eat, how they drive, who they sleep with, etc. Sure, you can still die of those things but you have some control. Going to work and breathing in Anthrax spores without any knowledge of the risks is not the same.

Accidental death, murder, and terrorist attacks all fall under the same heading: crap you can do nothing about (usually).

My point is, people seem to worry about the wrong things. If you are so concerned about living forever, don't buy Cipro. Stop smoking, go on a diet, hit the gym, and stop worrying about crap like anthrax.

I'm just north of you in West Palm, and you are ever so right: grossly fat people thinking they're gonna die from Anthrax is way so funny.

Of course there are those few that smoke daily, drink heavily and sleep around AND stay alive for quite a while... Everything you do is harmful to you. Just have fun and dont hurt anyone, and let others live their lives.
