There are so many things we could worry about: global warming, SARS, AIDS, war, famine, murder, bad drivers and slush piles--the list never ends.

But we can't worry about them. The most we can do is make a difference.

When a worry threatens to overwhelm you, think about the worst that could happen and how you'd deal with it. Of course, this technique is useless if you're worried you'll die.

Anyway, life is way too short to be worried. Go out and enjoy every single day. Always make room for laughter and friends.

Now get out there, have fun and stop worrying.

True, Chowder, true.

Live each moment. Things can change very suddenly. So enjoy what you have.

I have spent a few long minutes reading chowder's post, admiring the thinking, reading it again, pondering, and reading it again for pleasure this time.

I hope rackham has read it carefully, too *s*

Thanks for your kind words.

See, rackham, this site is a great place to start having fun and making a couple of cyber friends. And just as important, thinking about writing will get your mind off all those worrisome details AKA life.

I believe that all these super viruses come down to what's going on in those dang farms. Why do we let it continue? People complain all the time about these sicknesses, yet no one fingers the farms.

I must agree with Neurolanis. However, the interests which built the farms project the pseudo-dilemma that the establishment needs them to counterbalance opposing interests which develop similar work, or that research can help mankind advance, or a few more excuses. Consider the unemployment rate if they are shut down, for example.

They don't explain how one specialist and one training medical doctors aboard each ship on the seas with a proper medical assistance team could solve the medical field unemployment problem though. Or that an eight-student classroom is the largest possible pattern to work effectively, which could solve the schoolteacher field unemployment. For example *s*

Like all forms of power in the hands of man, such farms can be used to benefit mankind. Or harm it as they do and worse.
