I agree.. so far there aren't enough people in this country affected that would fill a 737 for a charter flight to Cancun, and I guess that we're supposed to go out and by plastic and duct tape and hide under our sofas.

Good point! It does really make one scratch one's head and wonder..where out of the blue sky did this come from all of a sudden? Also.. would anyone really be told the truth if there is a bioengineered virus? Our government doesn't seem to have a good track record when it comes to truth telling. Do they?

On one hand I say so long Mr. Specter! As a conservative in Pennsylvania I was so looking forward to our next primary so I could cast my vote in favor of Mr. Toomey. That same vote that I came so close to casting in the last primary showdown between he and Mr. Specter. Alas.. I voted for the wrong candidate, and have regretted it ever since! Now after months of squirming, trying to figure out how he can still be viable,after voting for the Obama pork package, his true party has emerged. A party of one, himself. Beware Democrats! This man has clearly demonstrated that he doesn't care about ANY of his constituents. Whether they be Republican, Democrat, or anything else, he only seems to care about keeping that nice cushy fat cat job as a U.S Senator, living around the "good old boy network" in D.C. I am so sorry that I EVER wasted a vote on this man. Everyone's eyes should be opened wide, because he, I believe is a text book example of how a large portion of our politicians are elitists and how the American People are merely pawns to be manipulated to sustain their lavish way of life. I don't believe that this is what our constitution was intended to provide for.

I have two nephews that are police officers. They put their lives on the line every time they start their shifts. The killings of these officers in Oakland sickens me and the protests honoring their killer outrages me. The addresses and phone numbers of these protesters should be noted, and if any of them ever need the assistance of law enforcement, they should be "black listed", and ignored.
