   Have you tried to buy Ammonium Nitrate lately? I GUANANTEE that anyone that does is going to get a very thorough background investigation. I used to buy the stuff for $.05/pound but now my nursery supply company won't even order it. The same with sulfur.

   Speaking of OK City and McViegh, the US Army solders are now being CLOSELY scrutinized and many of their rights are being violated (a lot more than the Arab Americans). That's not fair to them but it's being done none the less.
