I know someone who chewed a bean and was really ill afterwards. A lot of plants are toxic most folk have the good sense to avoid them.

That is a good way to look at it there with being free to walk around the country.

That is terrible. When I was a child living in the country everybody had a castor tree. Nobody ever made Racine that I know of and all the children were told not to touch the beans they were poison and would kill us. That was that. We believed our parents and left it at that. This is disgusting!

It's a difficult sign of the times, but people are just going to have to get used to the fact that Big Brother/Uncle Sam is watching and listening . . . to everything! Yeah, who wants to fly anymore anyway . . . ?

My Dad always grow them and after I got married and we lived in our own house he gave me seeds from his and I grew them for years. I thought they were so pretty in our back yard.

It does to me too. I have no Verizon for anyone to check. I'm hoping Richard was kidding me about my involvement. I only read him.

Lots of people - gardners - grow castor bean plants for their
showy foliage. My mother grew them in the late '40s and warned us kids not to pick the flowers or eat the beans, which she said were poison. I understand from articles I've read lately that it takes a bit of expertise to turn the beans into a deadly substance. Neither you nor your friend should have earned a spot on the no-fly list.
