The circumstances surrounding Cooper's death are controversial. On November 5, 2001, officers of the Apache County Sheriff's Office decided to serve Cooper a warrant based on the above-mentioned charges. For reasons not explained, the Sheriff's Office sent deputies to Cooper's home at approximately 11:00PM, and instead of knocking on his door and announcing themselves, the deputies attempted to lure Cooper from his house by posing as civilians playing loud music on or near his property. Cooper, who was an above the knee amputee, went down to investigate the scene in his truck. It is disputed as to whether the deputies identified themselves or tried to serve an arrest warrant at that time. Nevertheless, Cooper announced he was returning to his house to contact the Eager Police Department, either to verify the warrant or to contact the local authorities in order to report what he may have still believed was a real
disturbance. Before he could do so however, the sheriff's deputies tried to apprehend him, at which point shooting began. Cooper was armed and one deputy was wounded. Another deputy returned fire, killing Cooper. Milton William Cooper was 58 years old.
Although there is a lot publick interest about the initial attack, it is also interesting to note one of the most comprehensive acts of law within US history just a month. And yet, not one item actually addressed the illegal alien issue which we all know in this case, was the House of Saud and the Egyptians involved.

(a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following: (1) Additional steps must be taken to better prepare the United States to respond to potential bioterrorism attacks. (2) The threat of a bioterrorist attack is still remote, but is increasing for a variety of reasons, including-- (A) public pronouncements by Osama bin Laden that it is his religious duty to acquire weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons; (B) the callous disregard for innocent human life as demonstrated by the terrorists' attacks of September 11, 2001; (C) the resources and motivation of known terrorists and their sponsors and supporters to use biological warfare; (D) recent scientific and technological advances in agent delivery technology such as aerosolization that have made weaponization of certain germs much easier; and (E) the increasing access to the technologies and expertise necessary to construct and deploy chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. (3) Coordination of Federal, State, and local terrorism research, preparedness, and response programs must be improved. (4) States, local areas, and public health officials must have enhanced resources and expertise in order to respond to a potential bioterrorist attack. (5) National, State, and local communication capacities must be enhanced to combat the spread of chemical and biological illness. (6) Greater resources must be provided to increase the capacity of hospitals and local health care workers to respond to public health threats. (7) Health care professionals must be better trained to recognize, diagnose, and treat illnesses arising from biochemical attacks. (8) Additional supplies may be essential to increase the readiness of the United States to respond to a bio-attack. (9) Improvements must be made in assuring the safety of the food supply. (10) New vaccines and treatments are needed to assure that we have an adequate response to a biochemical attack. (11) Government research, preparedness, and response programs need to utilize private sector expertise and resources. (12) Now is the time to strengthen our public health system and ensure that the United States is adequately prepared to respond to potential bioterrorist attacks, natural infectious disease outbreaks, and other challenges and potential threats to the public health.
[[Page 115 STAT. 399]]
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the United States should make a substantial new investment this year toward the following: (1) Improving State and local preparedness capabilities by upgrading State and local surveillance epidemiology, assisting in the development of response plans, assuring adequate staffing and training of health professionals to diagnose and care for victims of bioterrorism, extending the electronics communications networks and training personnel, and improving public health laboratories. (2) Improving hospital response capabilities by assisting hospitals in developing plans for a bioterrorist attack and improving the surge capacity of hospitals. (3) Upgrading the bioterrorism capabilities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through improving rapid identification and health early warning systems. (4) Improving disaster response medical systems, such as the National Disaster Medical System and the Metropolitan Medical Response System and Epidemic Intelligence Service. (5) Targeting research to assist with the development of appropriate therapeutics and vaccines for likely bioterrorist agents and assisting with expedited drug and device review through the Food and Drug Administration. (6) Improving the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile program by increasing the amount of necessary therapies (including smallpox vaccines and other post-exposure vaccines) and ensuring the appropriate deployment of stockpiles. (7) Targeting activities to increase food safety at the Food and Drug Administration. (8) Increasing international cooperation to secure dangerous biological agents, increase surveillance, and retrain biological warfare specialists.

America was screwed by a GOP Congress and President. Today we are screwed by a Democratic Congress and President. And no one seems to grasp the real issue we see on this perpetual motion machine about a political pendulum.
Socialism is written into each of these 1000 page legislative considerations as the Patriot Act. And today even more HealthCare Reform is written. Within the HealthCare Reform Bill is compulsive psychiatric rules about American firearm owners.

What section is this "compulsive psychiatric rules about American firearm onners" to be found at. I think you made it up. Don't get me wrong it will probably come to that. I just don't think they put it in the legislation.

You expect your computer to "read" and make up for your reading comprehension? What are you running there .. an Intel 80486 processor with 16Mbytes of RAM?
Buck I thought you claimed to be some kind of computer expert. Buck get firefox. Go to the Edit pull down menu. Then click on "find". Then type the word you want to find on the current page you are on. It is not that complicated Buck. My 9 year old can do it. I think you can if you try too.
But you still lied Buck. Be honest and people will take you more seriously.
