    Agreed ^ hopefully this doesn't become the zombie apocalypse can't help but to think it's purposefully orchestrated by our government. Pray for the thousands of troops going to Africa.

    Unless we are talking of yet another, the flight was to Cleveland. She was asymptomatic until she returned home. The current outbreak in West Africa has been ongoing since March. In countries with what the Washington Post described as "broken health care" infrastructure. IIRC there have been approximately 7,000 reported cases and half have died ...... in an area inhabited by millions of people.

    So don't get me wrong, it scares me too, but I don't think we are in for a situation like the bubonic plague of the middle ages. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/he...-hysteria.html

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Ha you should be looking at northwest NV I already got 20 arces paids for.
    to start a farming operation to protect me self from the coming hyperinflation.
    Was learning stuff about laws Government has had a lien on us Americans for their
    loans since 1933. So we should all put the legal us and our big assets into a chariable trust.
    So when they default if they do but they could make the money worthless preventing it.

    About 10 years ago when I was still on the job, an employee of a popular magazine company called and reported a suspicious package had arrived & they wanted the police to respond. The person who received the call was new & I was sent to the complaintant, my questions as to the nature of the suspicious package, while in route, went unanswered.

    I arrived & went to the 3rd floor of the building, where a lady approached me with an open postal package, I stopped her a few feet away & asked what's inside. She tilted the box to show me it contained white powder & a note that read, "This is Anthrax and all you B&#$*(^%'s are going to die." The lady had already showed the contents to the entire floor. I sealed the entry & exit points of the 3rd floor & waited for a Hazmat Unit to arrive. We were herded onto a recycled school bus, taken to a large hospital parking lot, made to exit the bus & strip of everything, put all belongings into large bags,,, walked naked in a line to be hosed & scrubbed by people in chemical suits,, then herded naked into a large room, where we were handed hospital gowns. We stayed in the room for several hours.

    The powder turned out to be harmless,,,, all my equipment & clothes were destroyed anyway, my gun sonic cleaned.

    I didn't hate the ass&ole who sent the package, I was pi$$ed at the system that failed me & my overall lack of training in this area. I had been trained to handle robbers, killers & lost children,,, not death in a box. Re-Training on Bio-hazards started immediately.

    The only upside was that the magazine was working a story on the South Beach modeling industry. There were at least 15 models with me,,, I only wished that I had been keeping up with my workouts & had some of my hair left. I arrived home in a hospital gown & not a single phone number.

    I really try not to be paranoid about this stuff but the powers that be seem to really be dropping the ball on this one.

    I told my wife you will be able to pick out the straight razor guys in the apocalyptic world b/c they will still have nice clean shaven faces long after everyone else has ran out of blades.

    Remember guys....luck favors the prepared.
