[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jomama: [QB] Do you want me to address the "mutating" question seriously or you just fuckin around????? Even the virus/bacteria that we've sort of "Evolved" to be much more resistant from overmedicating of anti-biotics and anti-viral agents has taken 10-25 odd years. They do have very fast life cycles, which is what allows them to evolve into stronger strains so fast. If they're not lying (the govt) about these strains being old, and common, I would expect that these "releases" will remain realitivly uneventfull/unsuccessfull at causing a large-scale exposure. This could be just a test run though, if they've got a "engineered" strain thats potent this could get nasty. I don't exactly get why they're using Anthrax though?? Its not especially contagious or anything. If they spray a large quantity into the air I could see it being a much bigger problem. A side note though is that your still partially right. "Mutation" as a rule, is Pre-Adaptive. Which basically means that a biological entity or whatever cant "will" itself in anyway to evolve and that all "evolution" has to pretty much be already in the genetic code. Almost... 99.99999....% of mutation to DNA either does nothing or stops the lifecycle early on..... Very very very rarely a mutation occurs thats benefitial. But of all the living organism on the planet, Virus and Bacteria (a certain strain which I don't remember) have been seen under laboratory conditions to apparently "preformed" directed Mutation.... I don't remember the case exactly but it was like emersing a virus/bacteria in a foreign enviroment that barely allowed it to survive. And after a long time of exposure (the same/first generation) was able to thrive in it and it had affected its genetic code, an pass it on to the second generation. It was something like that. I think its equally as likely that this is some wacko here in the states that using this as a opportunity to be the next uni-bomber. But I certainly wouldn't rule out ol Osama and his minions.
