At first, I thought it was just a coincidence that there was an anthrax case--just an isolated case, unusual but not impossible. When other cases came to light, I thought it was some kook using our present unease to get some sort of thrill. Now, however, with information coming in that some of these letters were mailed from Malaysia, I have to believe that it is, indeed, another terrorist attack. I do not think it is intended to cause countless deaths...it just isn't that easily spread. I think the idea is to create more fear in the American public and turn us into our own worst enemies. Our leaders continue to tell us to go about our normal lives. For some of us, that is fairly easy to do. Others, however, have been horribly affected by recent events. Businesses are losing money and laying off workers. Those who are self-employed are finding their business has dried up. I am very much concerned that this is not going to improve any time soon. So it does no good to tell people to go on "as usual" when "as usual" no longer exists.
