| WMD? Chem is as irrelavent as a cloudy day. Nuke policing is | tricky yet seems to be working and still under state control. But | it's the bio's / DNA and knowledge coming out of govt/corp/edu labs | that pose the biggest risk to mass humanity. And nobody seems | to have any idea how to grasp or manage that. +1 Read Juan Enriquez's (new) book: _Evolving Ourselves_ the subtitle of which is _How Unnatural Selection and Nonrandom Mutation are Changing Life on Earth_. Compare that to the core plot line in Richard Clarke's _Breakpoint_, which was that once genetic modding becomes doable not only will the elite think they are better than the rest, they will be. All states already require permanent cryobanking of neonates' cord-blood; how soon before we start screening it for diseases-to-be, all in the name of universal-risk-pooling which will be oh so surely couched in paternalistic common good (Obamacare)? --dan
