As you probably know, Sen. Bill Frist recently received a letter which contained a primitive (and not particularly dangerous form of) ricin (more). A number of other locations had ricin scares, but so far only the first letter has turned out to be real, thanks to some nut calling himself “Fallen Angel”.
What's interesting is the response by the government.
They're considering simply telling people to stop sending them mail (more). I think we've had this dicussion before, and came to the following conclusion: if you really love something, kill it*. Thus, if you want to protect democracy, a good move to make is to block citizens' access to government. Right?
* Or was that, “if you really love somebody, better set them of fire”?
