I wish eBay would let you watch as many items as you wanted.

Terrie goes and lists 20 auctions and I want to watch most of them and I can't.

And buy my shit

I wish Serenevalkyrie would allow responses in her journal, I really wanna respond to the one about the plague.

Ah stuff it, I'm bored I'll do it here.

"*watching news* "HEALTH SCARE" about the bubonic plague in NY. TWO whole people are infected! Dear god! Two out of 10 million! What a scare! -_- just now they said its nothing to worry about. So why the hell did the report start with the big words HEALTH SCARE? Its not contagious, AND theyre not even NYers, they got it from their home in New Mexico, theyre just visiting. *shakes head*"

Plague is VERY contaigious, how do you think all those people in London got it in the 1600's?? Sure 2 people (especially from somewhere where the disease is more prevalent) having it isn't a major health scare but it's a rare and very contaigious disease. The medical community at least must be alerted so they can wipe it out before it has a chance to spread. One case of ebola in a western country is a health scare. Hell the slightest TRACE of rabies here in Australia is cause for a LOT of concern because we've strived so much to keep the disease out of here.

"Um... someone raped a 9 year old and she's reportedly pregnant? Did i hear this wrong? I think I did.. Thats not possible!"

Oooh yes it is. Girls as young as 7 have gotten pregnant in the past. Everyone develops differently. You'd probably be surprised at the number of 9 year olds who have have started menstruating.

So where did this plague come from? Same place as the anthrax? Cos surely its been wiped out from the natural world. I heard from somewhere that there were factories in USA and Russia that were still developing newer and more deadly forms of the bubonic plague (as well as anthrax, smallpox and other horrid diseases that are now curable). Is this where it came from? Is it some kind of a terrorist attack? If it is, then it puts it all in a whole different light.

Plague is around in many areas, Central America being a well known habour for it. A think there is a population of squirrels further north also known to habour the disease.

It's just not common these days because it's easily curable and the western world is a damn site cleaner than it was in the 1600's.
