Understandable need to make a living but not understanding this or finding new ways to deal with global and local threats means the next pandemic is closer than ever.

Maybe they should consider selling goldfish...(not to make light of Bird Flu epidemics)

It always seems to be about money doesn't it ?
And money doesn't stretch very far any more, I always worry till the end of the month, hoping I will have some spare change. Then gas and food prices go up...and I have to give up another doctors appointment to make ends meet.

Thats no way to live...

You are so right - it's not that we shouldn't have to make choices - it's that too many are being "decided" for us by CEO's or political leaders who are able to "exempt" themselves from the consequences of their decisions.
