So now chemistry sets are becoming restricted as they are deemed undoubtedly to be the tools of terrorists.
This is getting absurd. Especially after all the discussion about Intelligent Design being imposed on school curriculums . . .
Or the continued federal prosecution of the artist Steven Kurtz for having the test tubes he used in his art projects spotted . . .
It would appear that a trend has been developed by various agencies of the American government to declare science, or at least amateur versions of it, to be an enemy of the state.

Congratulations on your link heavy post, by the way. The infopocalypse awaits. *hic*
