Re: President Barack Obama
This brings up an interesting question: can a true regeneracy take in the absence of a credible leader to rally around? My first reaction is to ask what your definition of credible is. Would that mean charismatic? Honest? Perceived as doing good? Having actual past leadership experience? John often...

Re: generational conflict between y and boomers...your thoughts,
That's a very clever curse. I was born in 1987, so I'm fairly well seated among Millennial peers. As far as conflicts with our elders or parents are concerned, the primary complaint from my peers is that their parents or guardians act childish or immature, and that they have to pick up the slack. I ...

Re: Generational Crises and Methods for Evaluation
So, I was reading in the international posts about the various faults that still exist and how they could re-erupt in the next crisis war, particularly with Russia and the Caucasus and between France, England and Britain. I thought of posting this there, but it seemed more relevant to this topic. It...

Re: Swine Flu Pandemic - Preparation
Vitamin D is actually one of the few vitamins our body makes on its own. The skin, I believe, synthesizes it to help things like calcium absorption. The body makes Vitamin D when we're in sunlight. One of the reasons Vitamin D probably drops for people in the winter and people up north is because th...

Re: Afghanistan, Pakistan and India
Hopefully this is better quality. Peshawar is the next city east of Kabul Afghanistan, near the middle-top of the border of the Pashtun and Punjabi areas. Hope that helps.

Re: Generation Debt is in for a Rough Ride
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090418.wstleah18art1354/BNStory/lifeStyle/home?cid=al_gam_mostview Article written by a GenXer blaming the Boomers for all their problems.

Re: Swine Flu Pandemic - Preparation
As a disclaimer, I went to med school 20 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. Also, I am certainly no immunologist or epidemiologist. That said, I do remember that we used steroids quite often in children with viral illnesses when I was a pediatric intern, because sometimes the inflammatory...

Re: Swine Flu Pandemic
Among the conclusions of this research is that the virus kills via a cytokine storm (overreaction of the body's immune system) which explains its unusually severe nature and the concentrated age profile of its victims. The strong immune systems of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker i...

Re: Swine Flu Pandemic
There have been a 26 cases of swine flu here in Texas, according to the CDC, second only to New York at 50. We've also had the only US death, a toddler who had just returned from Mexico with family. We've had school closings because of it, but for the most part it's been business as usual. Really fr...
