When I crack that whip, everybody goin' to trip like circus Posts: 14,514 Group: 10,000 post spammer Member #23 Joined: January 1, 2006	2 people and they are recovering so no I am not worried. Thou the fact that they raised the hazard level which is just making more people panic. It's like when bird flu came out and people were getting infected they made a huge fuss over it.

	You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged.

Posts: 8,682 Group: 5000 post Angel Member #5 Joined: November 17, 2005	Well one of our middle schools closed at 1pm CDT today due to a possible case of swine flu. I told my kids they'd have some time off, just wondering when it's going to hit one of their schools now
