Here's how I spell dumb ass; parents who take their sick, infected children to every public spot they possibly can before they lose their effectiveness as an infective agent of swine flu or the more politically correct, H1N1.Today in the news there have been stories everywhere about parents actually hosting "pox parties" for the swine flu. Now, if you're not familiar with what pox parties are, they're actually an interesting bit of history.
Of course, experts are discouraging parents from participating in such "foolishness". I must concur, you really don't need to organize a party to accomplish infection. Just go to your local Safeway, don't wipe down the cart, and encourage your children to lick their hands. Very simple really.
My recommendation during this time of madness is to curl up with a good book or two. Here are some that won't really help take your mind off this "pandemic" but they are interesting nonetheless.
