Could Be

"Could be"

These materials (chemicals, tubes, magnets, petri dishes)
"could be" used to create weapons.

Yup -

So could many things in my own kitchen !

The questions is,
where is the proof that they ARE weapons?

Until they ARE weapons,
my baking soda is just something I use to make pastry,
my baster is just something I use to moisten my turkey,
my magnets are just things I use to keep notes on my frig,
and my dishes grow yucky bacteria when left too long.

(Want to hear about my collection of knives???)

There really are other answers...

If you write to friends in the USA, I'd appreciate it if you would send them this url:

http://www.congress.org/

From here, you can email the PRESIDENT, the VP, and your congressional representatives, as well. It's very quick and easy.

Add your name to a referendum:

It's not enough to hope for peace, to pray for peace, we must work towards it as well.
