ANTHRAX! Get yer fresh Anthrax! Right here!

Questions Concerning Anthrax and the First Amendment.

If here in NYC - I stood on any street corner, handing out puffed-up envelopes full of baking soda marked – ANTHRAX! – and yelled like a paper boy, “ANTHRAX! Get yer Anthrax, right here!”

Do ya think I’d get busted????

You know – like yelling out, “Fire!,” in a crowed theater?

What would be the charge? Could they hold me very long? Would any charge stick for very long?

Why? Why not?

What if I didn’t yell it out at all? Or say anything at all?

What if I just simply handed out the envelopes marked the way I describe?

What if I simply wore a T-shirt that said, “ANTHRAX VICTIM?”

What if I was a teenager wearing that very same T-shirt to High School?

What if I dressed like an Afghan and wore that T-shirt and walked through the Mall of America and said, “Boogey, boogey, boogey,” to every elderly couple I ran across?

What if? What if? What if? I know……

Scary! Isn’t it?

To think – creative people could get busted – just for being creative in scaring people…

Ahhhh - the wonderful disease of creative thinking....

Hmmmmm?????

And it’s Holloween too.

You can obviously name your band ANTHRAX!

Don't know yet if it is a publicity stunt though...

Bet the guy who named "Asprin" is pissed he didn't take out a trademark.

Around here, in BFE Michigan, I heard a news report yesterday, that made me wanna throw candy at rotten people. I guess a ton of people in this area, and east of here have been bitching to the police stations n stuff about Halloween. Saying they refuse to take part this year, cause they just KNOW a lot of people are going to be handing out anthrax-infested candy.

Ok, yes, it's conceivable. Is it likely to happen? No. Not bloody likely. These people were on the news shouting about how Halloween is ruined, and how candy sales are gonna go up this year, cause they are buying thier own candy to give thier kids. WHOA! Take it a wee bit farther, please!

If I lived in an area where a case had been found, MAYBE I would wonder, but until I saw that news peice last night, the thought never even once crossed my mind, thank the lord.

LOL - great mental image sparks.

I could actually see you doing this.


Question: How many Osama costumes do you think'll be around this Hallows-eve

Better yet, screaming, "I have the 'Thrax'," OMG I'm dying here, please alms for the poor! Mouth to mouth rescusetation (sp? too drunk too care, but Sparks would understand)...

Living in NYC and DC, and......

Working in the news and information business.....

Just makes we wonder about licking my envelopes any more.

We're in a high risk Anthrax area.

I hope they spread it around a bit - you know - send some to St. Louis. Send some to Bakersfield CA. Send a batch to Augusta.

Let the rest of the US "feel our pain."

And most of all - send the shit to Hollywood. I'd love to disperse the "egos of the stars." Shut them the fuck up for a while.

That might be the one good thing to come out of this whole thing.

They have been called that for almost 20 years now..........just happened to be on tour right now........They didn't paln this and thay don't like it either.........................

They also said if this continues they would consider changing there name........Most folks never paid attention to what there name was till now........................
