It makes me feel sorry for his family.

Excellent smack down, Dem; this guy is a putz.

Well…if it makes you folks feel any better, you will all feel quite vindicated when he and his family get hit with BAD Bird Flu planning. With the way he’s carrying on, I have no doubt he has zero preparedness and little if any skills necessary to survive any kind of catastrophe. What would a lawyer be able to do to help out during bird flu anyway? Sue the ducks that carried the virus into the US? LOL. He lives in Washington DC, right? I wonder if DC has any good BF planning…

This kinda dovetails into this thread topic:

http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-12-17-prepare_x.htm

Most people unprepared for disaster

…”People have this attitude of ‘it’s not going to affect me’ or ‘I’ll have time to prepare,’” says Robert Palestrant, acting director of emergency preparedness and homeland security for Miami-Dade County….

…People with higher education and income levels were likely to be better prepared than others….

…McGinnis says the survey shows that emergency managers would be wise to work through schools and businesses to promote preparedness.

that’s an excellent article, JWB. I can use it locally!

KellyP- If I remember correctly, DC was at/or near the bottom of the list in the report re;leased last week- Ttrust for the National health? Sorry, havn’t had coffee yet- anyway a link is on the other Forum in the news section.

Dem- good comment! His name rang a bell-and busy with holiday stuff I didn’t track it down, but now I remember his “release” from Scripps-Howard- it was going around the enviromental/sustainable agricultural circles.

The one good thing to come out of this 9for me) is I was not previously familar with Gillian Crawford, and I now have his site bookmarked as well.

I think I might have made him mad. Either that or I hit a nerve, I’m not sure which. If anyone would like to post additional comments, please go right ahead.

just for his imformation, out public health service has new AIDS/HIV commericals out now, which caught my attention last week. Hmmm, wonder why he didn’t post back? ;-)

Here’s another one of those skeptic ones.

Point-for-point, I found that I had an answer to each of his objections. I think I’ve been reading Fluwikie too long. LOL.

Talk about “junk science” experts! He can write a article with junk science, alright!

(KellyP, I bet the only thing that happened is you are too well-informed, and, think too much to read that media source.)
