Yes Hildy, there is enough suffering in the world , why should it be supplemented ? It is so overwhelmingly sad when parents do not prepare their youngsters for survival in the jungle. I have seen several instances of the same in my own community here in Vermont. One in particular, a bright young journalist who graduated from the University of Chicago went to south America and laughed when told he needed to get a full slate of immunization shots.

He died alone, in a flea bitten jungle hospital, of malaria before his mom could get to his side.He was also a step child.

Our children need survival skills embedded in their consciousnesses before they move from rural areas into a city, or before travelling outside the country. Many parents do not understand this basic fact, and unfortunately, this is the face of a woman who discovered it the hard way.

"One in particular, a bright young journalist who graduated from the University of Chicago went to south America and laughed when told he needed to get a full slate of immunization shots."

"Bright" isn't a word I would use to describe someone who "laughed when told he needed to get a full slate of immunization shots" before going to going to the jungles of South America.

Your looking at an image depicting survivor's guilt.

Err, um, there are no immunizations for malaria.
