Any type of research or even basic labwork is immpossible without catching the eye of the federal governemnt. Purching of lab equipment, chemicals, biological agents, growth mediums, ...ect either are outright baned from individuls from purchasing or your purchase gets a quick call to the Feds by an every increasing army of narcs. Add to this the mear possesion of scientific data will classify you as a "terrorist", and a white suppremist, and a right wing militia nut, and whatever other convienient label the governemnet can use to instill fear in the sheeple (20 yrs ago it would be communist subversive). Thank god Einstein, Curie, Pasture, Edison, ... etc didn't get their start today. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
