Thanks to Dale.Amon and Tom Neff for the Loompanics address. For one of the best catalogs of books containing information that it is "irresponsible" to know, write to: Loompanics Unlimited PO Box 1197 Port Townsend, WA 98368 I recommend this company very highly. P.S. Non-United States customers might or might not receive their purchases depending upon the "Knowledge IS Irresonsible mentality" of their governments. -- - John M.

When you suppress the first, you insure the second. The point is that it's impossible to suppress all knowledge, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing... If I'm playing with explosives recipies, and my first 12 attempts fizzle, I may not be cautious enough on the 13th... If I know what makes a good explosive, I can do more trial with less error. -- -Colin (uunet!microsof!w-colinp)
