"Swine" Flu

This flu seems aptly named because if and when Swine Flu spreads, it will be because of the lack of courtesy in this day and age. I am constantly amazed at the number of people who are obviously sick that don't seem to think twice about going shopping, going to church, taking their kids to school sick, etc.

Mostly because they would be "inconvenienced" if they didn't or so they think. Never a thought that the person who catches their illness will most likely be "inconvenienced" or that they might be coming in contact with someone whose immune system isn't as strong as theirs.

Please, people, I beg of you, take this seriously. DO NOT get out in public if you're running a fever and know that you're sick. DO NOT pump your kids full of Tylenol in an effort to hide their symptoms before dumping them off at school. BE RESPONSIBLE! BE CONSIDERATE!

Be part of the solution -- not part of the problem. If this flu is as potentially serious as TPTB say it is, you could be complicit in killing someone if you continue to insist on being inconsiderate and spreading your germs.

Tolerance

Funny how those that demand "tolerance" are so intolerant when someone states an opinion that they don't agree with.
