my kids have seasonal allergy issues every fucking fall and spring. keeping them home from school for 2 days every single goddamn time they have a runny nose or mild cough is simply untenable.

it would be nice if our stupid fucking planet would find a way to rediscover its damn mind.

but i fear that the "we must never let anyone anywhere ever get sick again" fear mongers have won.
Question answered, I guess.

But no, we cannot let them win. And I think the majority are on the other side. We just need to keep telling the obsessives, like some of our fellow SSP forumers, to go pound sand (or lock themselves in the basement if they prefer).
