Cough, AB, cough.<br /><br />Strange about the pop music, though... I think that most Americans find themselves humming tunes from British artists. Or maybe that's just me.<br /><br />And I think modern blogs are susceptible to H1N1... not scarlet fever.

It sent me, a citizen of the U.S. with a very vague memory of my high school government class, out into the internet to research federalism as a refresher.

I too thought it'd been eradicated decades ago. <br /><br />I once lived next door to a family who never opened the windows and kept the drapes pulled 24/7. Very disturbing place to visit on a bright summer day, as inside, even with lamps lit, it was always twilight. The rationale being that this kept the "bad" germs out. However, at any given time, one family member or another was sick, respiratory ailments mostly (duh...) The mother also complained constantly about the high electric bill. Otherwise, they seemed to be bright, intelligent people!JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-89464967471604344292010-03-24T12:57:53.398+00:002010-03-24T12:57:53.398+00:00Chairman Bill : OK They count but we are not allow...Chairman Bill : OK They count but we are not allowed to talk about it because it is secret.<br />Betsy : That is awful, in my ignorance I didn't even think it existed any more.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-15304975952447915122010-03-24T12:54:21.436+00:002010-03-24T12:54:21.436+00:00Alan: They must do - they have numbered bank accou...Alan: They must do - they have numbered bank accounts.
