Unclescam,
We digress some with this exchange, but only in detail. Plague blankets
were intentional germ warfare of the 17th--19th century in north america
that I am aware of. I have that only by second hand report. But yes,
Unck, there is ample documentation of intentionaly using ill people or
their effects to purge other populations. I made the pont of the
potato-famine years because by then there were also fairly good
documentation that the 'excess populations' that the landed gentry wanted
purged weren't the only people who died when such pogroms were conducted.

Beleive me I am no fan of an intentional housing shortage. Which is what
I am seeing here and reading of in Canada. I don't know if the Barre
instalation would be a good deal or not, or if it had any chance of being
supported with workable healthcare. As you aptly point out the Barre plan
sounds shot down, or at least that is what looks likely from here. All
else is sarcasm on my part.
