oh my...it's awful that these poor children are becoming infected. Schools aren't doing enough to prevent or contain infection. Luckily I know that my children and I are safe, I recently bought a guide about Swine Flu. After all, the safety of my children is worth more than $7 right?

Why would parents who have sick children send them to school to infect others. At times like these, it is imperative that people share in the responsibility to stop infecting others. We have neighbors who had a son who became ill and kept sending him to school. He is also a freshman and has swine flu. Why would parents do such a thing as to send an obvious sick child to school to infect others. These neighbors don't think a thing on keeping them home from school to work for them at their golf repair shop and the kids miss alot of school yet when they get sick, they send them. Isn't this the same inhumanity as people who get behind the wheel drunk and jeopardize others? I feel so bad for the parents of the boy who dies but maybe irresponsible parents might have spared a child if they had kept their sick son home!

What ever happened to the school where the biy died? Was there more cases. I read what this person said about his parents sending him to school sick. Was he friends of the boy who died? Why would parents keep their kids home from school so much as you said and work at their golf repair shop? Isn't there something someone could do about this? Shouldn't the schoool monitor absentism better. How irresponsible for parents to keep them out of school so much and then to send them when they are sick. I encourage you to call social services on these irresponsible people for the kids sake. Golf repair shop?? There are not that many in town so it should be easy to figure out which one of them have kids there during school hours. It does not sound like a very reputable business if they as parents behave like that to their own children/.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Aquarius

Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behavior lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer.
