Rice Protest Idea

[loupaulsen at attbi.com]

About mailing rice, oatmeal, what have you: everybody please bear in mind that 
if you mail stuff -with the intention- that it be mistaken for a dangerous 
substance, causing delays in mail, etc., you can end up doing some serious 
prison time.  In fact it might be a felony to go beyond the theoretical 
chatter we have been having so far and encourage people to do it on this list.

Only those people who do not intend to cause such problems, and are concerned 
only with their symbolic value, should actually mail such foodstuffs.  

It might even be good to put a reassuring message on the package like 'these 
contents are safe'.
