There is, or was, a doctrine that went under the shorthand name
"deterrence." There's nuclear deterrence, which is obvious,
there's the idea of punishment as deterrence, which is slightly
less obvious, and there is anticipatory deterrence, by which
you make this huge Rube Goldberg mechanism that scares away who
knows how many would-be plane highjackers and bombers.

There was a girl I used to go out with, and we used to have
these deep conversations (back in those days, you know), and
she was stuck on James Q. Wilson and deterrence #2, but I was
into deterrence #1, and my Wilson was the equally eminent E. O.
We had some interesting misunderstandings, aided and abetted
of course by me, who saw it coming. Unfortunately (she was
very beautiful) or perhaps fortunately (I certainly wouldn't
have been able to handle her), this relationship did not
prosper. She now is a prominent activist left-wing lawyer. She
has no idea what I am; of course, neither do I.

White powder that turned out to be baking soda or talcum
worked quite well and at hardly expense at all. Blowing up
some of the infrastructure of NYC, say the Lincoln Tunnel,
would be costly, but for bang for the buck almost unbeatable.

And think of the trouble caused by one drunk peeing into the
Portland, Oregon water supply. Get 100 operatives to pose in
front of the surveillance cameras and pee into the largest
reservoirs, talk about scaring people. The side effect
(beneficial in my eyes) might be to jolt the population into
realizing about the benefits of dilution, but I don't think
the public is that smart. Hey, if you had them wear Reagan
masks, there's virtually no chance that they'd get caught.

I'm surprised the local NWT branch of al-Qaeda hasn't
kidnapped you and forced you to brainstorm for it.

Shiveydiz
cat: Turkish, main, Gaziantep
yield: 1 batch 

1/2 kg lamb meat
1 kg fresh garlic
2 kg fresh onion
3 c filtered plain yogurt
1 egg
3/4 c chickpea
1 ts dried peppermint
butter

M's note: the amounts are dubious.

Cook meat and chickpeas in a pressurre cooker with a little
water. (Water to cover the dry material. Chickpeas have to
be soaked with water overnight). Add 1 inch length chopped
fresh garlic and onion to the cooker and cook with meat.

(We have fresh garlic and onion in here which means are
harvested before he head of the vegetable have formed.
only the white parts of the vegetables will be used.)

In an another cup on a flame, with addition of a little
water and egg, stirr yogurt till it boils. Pour boiling
yogurt on meat, chickpeas and vegetables cook a little more.

Heat butter in a pan and spread on the stew with peppermint.
Ready to serve.

Boiling yogurt: Boiling yogurt requires a special technique.
Yogurt should be filtered by hanging in a loose woven cotton
textile bag for overnight. Add one egg, a table spoon of butter
and starch of wheat, a little water and stirr. Put the mixture
on flame and stirr unill boils. This boiled yogurt can be
used in all of the recepies with cooked yogurt.

You can combine boiling yogurt only with the same temparatured
substances with stirring. Otherwise it forms ununiformities.
