On the contrary, our public health, sanitation, and communication systems may be gutted by the flu before we scarcely have a chance to react. Our health care system would be overwhelmed within a matter of days. Doctors and nurses would be equally, if not more so, susceptible to the virus.
The reason the 1918 flu had high mortality among young adults is because sometimes when the body is presented with a new and particularly severe infection, there occurs a "cytokine storm", a positive feedback loop of the immune system which can pretty much destroy you. A healthy immune system becomes a liability.
I once attended a Raelian information session for shits & giggles. They had planted people throughout the audience whose sole purpose was to react in visibly positive ways to the information being presented. Kind of interesting.
What's to say she hasn't already given her money to a competitor, whilst also spreading the word about a company policy that she feels is an offensive waste of time? This broad sounds like she can have more that one thing on her plate at once.
That means everybody on Earth descends from somebody who was around as recently as the reign of Tutankhamen, maybe even during the Golden Age of ancient Greece.
Weren't all the races pretty much established by that point? How can an Asian be the common ancestor to Africans, Australian Aborigines, etc?
Some people believe that the government's job is to help protect its people--all its people, including the unborn. Abortion and creating embryos (human lives) for the purpose of using their parts are morally wrong and the government would be remiss in not prohibiting them.
So coercing the American population to send thousands of its sons and daughters into Iraq, directly into harm's way, to "spread freedom" is a worthy sacrifice of human life, yet stem cell therapy is a big no-no -- even though its benefits to Americans' quality of life are of a much more immediate and plausible nature? Yes, these brave soldiers may have voluntarily joined the armed forces to defend their country, but somehow I doubt that when they signed up they foresaw the arbitrary Bush doctrine of preventative war or the neocon collective's predilection towards misleading the entire nation into grave, uninformed decisions that threaten their very lives. There seems to be a little bit of a double standard here. I always wonder how the ultrareligious wingnuts reconcile their positions on those two issues. Then I settle on the notion that they are simply incapable of the critical thinking necessary to draw that parallel.

Why, as the article states, do federal trade agreements NOT require parliamentary approval?
