Cross posting my own post...

Most articles lately haven't been able to keep my attention any more. I'm getting burned out fast. My cross posting has even almost dropped off completely...

I may be a "conspiracy nut" as some has put it, but even i draw the lines on some theories. Though if this poisoning was intentional it will be the second time I stand corrected and will have to apologize to those that i rolled my eyes at and called crazy.

I read this article(--->) about an hour ago and it entirely held my attention. Some parts almost beg "Just bare with me while i get to the point," but it's worth it. Quite the eye opener.

Bodies In The Morgue: Pets Are Dead And Dying -- Did Terror Strike? http://www.americanchronicle.com/art...rticleID=24943

According to this article, a totally different company added cyanuric acid as a nitrogen booster to rice protein, to increase its apparent protein content on testing. The symptoms are similar.

Although it was purely financially motivated, a lot of people are considering this contamination of the food stores an illustration of how terrorists might attempt similar contamination. But just talking to friends overseas, it seems to be common knowledge that the American people aren't represented by our government, and that terrorists would probably be more likely to set their sights on military, petrochemical, or administrative targets than on the disaffected populace.

We didn't "dodge a bullet," as some pundits are suggesting. Our cats and dogs took it for us. And the shooter wasn't politically motivated. It was pure greed.

Love, Columbine
