That poor man, what he's had to endure in his presidency, a lesser man could not do. God bless him.

Thanks for the link.

According to the Nature news story, some scientists are questioning the wisdom of recreating the 1918 virus and publishing information on how it was done. Richard Ebright, a bacteriologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, said Tumpey and colleagues "have constructed, and provided procedures for others to construct, a virus that represents perhaps the most effective bioweapons agent now known."

That's what I'm afraid China is doing. It would make a hellofa bio-weapon.

I'll let the meds post slide, it isn't worth the heartburn.

Good morning.
"We should have quarentined for the aids epidemic."

How? How do you quarantine a group that is often secretive. Husbands are sometimes bisexual, or they use prostitutes. Homosexuals often don't tell people that they are homosexuals.

You could quarantine people who exhibit symptoms but HIV and AIDS can take years to appear and the infected person can be spreading the virus the whole time. As far as I can see, education is the best weapon against AIDS, teaching people that morality matters and promiscuity and some drug use is dangerous.

With Avian Flu, the disease becomes identifiable in a short amount of time. The danger there is that governments will cover up the epidemic, as China apparently did and as the Canadians might be trying to do.

I have a great sense of humor, you just don't bring it out in me. :-) I think I'll leave that picture up...I like it. That, and calling me a liberal lady is as far from the truth as possible.

You on the other hand, seem like a sourpuss.

Don't forget Carter....

I won't forget all the commie lefty liberals you supported for decades before you had your "DUH" moment and realized you helped destroy the lifes of millions and millions of Americans and their children for decades to come.

I won't forget the millions of dead babies murdered by the people you supported. I won't forget the shame that your President Clinton brought on this country by renting out the Linclon bedroom and defiling the Oval office with a fat liberal bimbo.

No,,there is no chance I will forget what people like you have done,,,no chance at all.

Good, what a relief. I can sleep easy tonight knowing that we are protected by such a demigod as yourself. You might outta stock up on plenty of ice for all your nose bleeds. Remember, pinch it tight at the bridge of the nose and lean your head back. That should stem the flow. Repeat as often as necessary. Most likey daily in your case. :-)
