Amazing in the late 70's and 80's it was very common for bomb scares and they always made the news. Wonder if now its just become so common that we never hear about them since other more serious stuff is going down or since a bomb didnt go off and spectacular journalists could run in and report from the rubble that it dont make the news?

stuckincincy Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 if you are a chemist and live in cincy, do you work for proctor and gamble? 42204[/snapback] Nope. Retired. I do a bit of consulting work - not much. Organic kinetics and thermodynamics occasionally, and material corrosion of coated metals being most common. I used to do some volunteer work in another State advising young scientists about ethics a number of years ago, but the organization's lawyers demanded that I get photographed and fingerprinted in line with today's "guilty until proven innocent" left-wing garbage so I gave that up. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
