Liberal soccer moms are precisely as likely to receive anthrax in the mail as to develop a capacity for linear thinking.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think one of the political problems we have in this country is the perspective that all soccer moms think alike, all African-Americans think alike.
If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror.
So I was surprised at the notion that I might have brought anthrax to my home, and would have been even amused if it was not for the fact that this matter is so grave and serious.
I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.
As a scientist in the field of biological warfare defense, I have never had any reservations whatsoever about helping the anthrax investigation in any way that I could.
I think few people of education enter politics because it seems like a contact blood sport.
Mum has always been a huge anti-war activist. She would go off to protest and get arrested. I have her passion, but it is not for politics. I am much more interested in psychology. It's more my job and my natural inclination.
If we help an educated man's daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? - not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?
I think there's a danger of a being typecast as the all-American mom forever.
I have had nothing to do in any way, shape or form with the mailing of these anthrax letters, and it is extremely wrong for anyone to contend or suggest that I have.
