candy, candy everywhere!

Wow! A student in my patho class brought in a HUGE bag of candy this morning! I shared my views of "trickorween" and a few students agreed with me. One or two pointed out that many kids are not choosing not to go out asking for candy, but instead are staying in and watching movies (scary) and eating popcorn ect. Sounds better to me.

I should know better than to look at USA Today news. I saw a couple of headlines that got to me... First, under a headline that one of Ben Ladins top advisors had escaped from a prison in Afghanistan I saw this: "security as been heightened after....'' well, if security can be "heightened" now, apparently it was slack before, thus an escaped criminal..... It amazes me that we are so reactional to these events, then become slack over time... ie, so much security and so many changes after the 9/11 attack, then we let up... when you let up that is when another attack is possible. Why have anything BUT heightened security at a prision where know terrorists are being keep and trying to escape?

The other item concerned the "bird flu" scare. It is a real threat, simply because it is spreading so rapidly through migrant birds and is moving toward Europe and North America. The "Bush man", our fearless leader, is using it already as a scare tactic to get the heat off of his sorry behind! Notice that when the news media are starting to ask questions about HIM and HIS SORRY performance as our leader, he diverts the attention onto something else. Scare these pore idiots enough and they will forget that I am the ultimate idiot (Bush's tactics)! Well, so far the only humans affected are those in close contact with infected birds. We can't get it by eating chicken that has been properly cooked, and so far, we can't get it from each other. So, stay away from live birds and anyone you know may have had intimate contact with live birds and you are pretty much safe. Apparently, the real scare is that the bird virus will mutate into a human virus that can be easily spread from person to person, thus the scare of a pandemic! No evidence exists that this has happened, but Bush is putting the scare out there concerning a US Pandemic so he can create confusion and diversion. Sure, our CDC, WHO and other health experts need to be on top of the problem, but GW's dumb ____ can hardly spell vaccine, much less be the one to inform US citizens about the bird virus. And, he want "billions" of dollars to throw at the problem, meaning more of his rich cronies will get richer....

I tell ya, the more I learn about GW and his doings, the more I know how right I was in seeing how stupid this nation was to elect him, not once, BUT TWICE!


Good day!
