That stance seems to favor simple-mindedness, as it over-shadows Scientific (medical / genetic) candor. I am PLEASED that you took note of that think-gap. I have yet to find a single Press-Release that addresses this topic from a genetic (inheritance) perspective.<br /><br />Clearly, the human immune system evolves along with reproduction and the movements of mankind through time and space. The subject is more than topical - in-as-much-as the genetics of "immunity" protect (or render a person vulnerable) to many diseases. Thanks for your comment.

At first I was going through "computer withdrawals." Now, I'm use to it. I go to the library in my town once or twice a week and use the free computers or, like today I'm visiting a friends for a few days and they generously let me use their computer.<br /><br />At this point in my life it is OK. I hope to get a new computer in a few months as I miss the ability to pay bills online, email, etc. I find that I am doing other interesting things when I would have been in front of the computer.<br /><br />There is nothing like curling up with a good book or picking up the phone and calling a friend rather than emailing. New technology is wonderful, but I miss going through the old card catalogs at the library or knowing the name of the bank teller or pouring though encyciopedias to learn about something. All things of the past, along with slide rulers.<br /><br />I'm getting too nostaigic.<br /><br />Now, if I could just trash the TV I would be much better off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21902677.post-51623142752453440132009-06-01T10:56:58.968-05:002009-06-01T10:56:58.968-05:00I still have no idea who you are.

It is very difficult to live without a credit card in this society. <br /><br />I use my debit card only and make sure I budget enough for gas and food.

Nicole shared her "Quadrangle" office with Sir Andrew Wiles (Englishman who proved Fermat's Last Theorem), and whose common advisor (John Coates) is a "Fields Medal" winner (an equivalence to a 'Nobel Prize' in Mathematics). She was the first woman in history to be admitted into the 'college of the kings', at Trinity, Cambridge England -- but should her equally anonymous opinion -- matter, in this matter? <br /><br />In the absence of suitable proof, by your standards, such would make me into the "jerk"?

The pandemic of 1918 more than 50 million died. So what's 149 so far, a drop in the bucket. The most susceptible to death are the old and the very young. That's always the case and that always happens no matter what. Besides, what are we going to do if it does reach a pandemic stage? Not really to much except experience whatever's happening around us. <br /><br />From what I've heard, Mexico City is a dump. The Mexican population is somewhere around 20 million. The Mexican government didn't do much to contain this either, so I feel that it will continue to spread, but so what else is new? Flu typically does spread. <br /><br />I say if I'm going to get it I'd rather get it early on so if it does morph, I've already had it, and will not be susceptible to getting the next strains. The people in Mexico that have already had it and have gotten better are lucky and can now watch the whole world sweat it out now. Me, I'll wait and watch...can't really do much else anyway. Maybe I'll have a pork taco or two.<br /><br />RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21902677.post-50273400103918580392009-04-19T08:37:00.000-05:002009-04-19T08:37:00.000-05:00Giggle.
