>>Try having a nightmare about antibiotic resistant tuberculosis.<< I have, actually. When I first hung out my own shingle, maybe 50% of my income was from court-appointed criminal cases in several jurisdictions. I was a very busy lady. I got off the lists for a couple of reasons -- fear of tuberculosis was one of them. At the time, a lot of defendants in New York had drug resistant tuberculosis, and the judges and court staff were coming down with it. It doesn't seem to have been as much of a problem as I was worried about, but just as well since the local counties went to Public Defenders. I do worry about a lot of things. My kids think I am paranoid. I don't think I am paranoid, I think I just worry a lot. When I was a kid, I worried about the atomic bomb, starting with the Cuban Missile Crisis. I don't think I was the worrying type before then. Scarred for life by Castro and Khrushchev.

Mq....Do you think the world would or should be upset if whatever group of terrorists picked NZ as a testing ground for whatever chemical or bio weapons they are working on for a larger group of people? Like say...smallpox, or ebola....or something else quite deadly... Don't you think we should ALL be concerned about a group of mad men that would even conceive of thinking of that possibility? I know I feel better thinking that there are leaders in the world that are thinking of these possibilities and are actively trying to do something about the leaders of the murdering groups...
