RE: Miniature Wargaming can be HAZARDOUS to your health!

This spring I had two stiches in the web between my left thimb and index
finger... the Xacto knife slipped and went in about 1cm.  DON"T Cut
toward your hand!

Hi All:
	Excuse me if their is an unusual number of errors in this
message, my
left hand index finger is under half an inch of gauze which makes typing
difficult.  I just got back from the emergency room after an X-Acto
knife got away from my and cut the dickens out of my hand. (I couldn't
find any chicken livers.  10 pt reference)  The accident occurred while
I was preparing some plastic tubs that I was converting into sci-fi
buildings for wargaming purposes.  I got three stitches and a tetanus
shot (the latter was surprising painless, it was the former that stung a
bit).  
	I warn any and all miniature wargamers to be careful with your
tools. 
The life you save could be your own.

economic differences among people. No one should be too rich. No one
should be
too poor. We should "close the wealth gap."  This is a very powerful
idea.  
This is a very common idea.  This is a very bad idea.
