Absence and 9/11
I love the Irony of an agricultural trader getting Swine flu, but of course it happened to me. Following my recent travels to London and seeing all the signs over there about prevention and how quickly it’s spreading I now understand they are SERIOUS. I assume myself, my traveling companions (whom have been admitted to the hospital…they’ll be fine) and everyone else on Virgin Atlantic flight 39 has swine flu. This just goes to show how quickly an airborne virus can spread. Everyone should take due precautions.I don’t feel this is life threatening for most, but it’s a nasty flu that wipes you out for at least a week.
As for 9/11, I have to agree with my fellow Guru; it’s a disgrace that where I lost many I knew in this industry, lies a hole in the ground. It parallels the hole eroding the American spirit. This was never better shown than earlier this week during the O’Bama health care speech. The terrorists are winning when our elected leaders (the jackass republican) do not respect (the presidency) what has taken over 250 years and countless lives to create. Why not simply throw a shoe at him and debase ourselves to the level of our enemy? We as Americans can and need to do better. We are called the leaders of the free world but lately we have chosen not to lead. That is a sad fact that needs to chance if anything better is ever to be expected for our Children. Best Wishes to all on our most solemn day.
