I've had measles (twice), mumps, rubella and chicken pox (as an adult) and I can't understand any parent not vaccinating their children. Both of mine are getting everything that's available.
We don't vaccinate against chicken pox in the UK, but I wish we did. Looking after a scabby kid isn't a lot of fun.
My younger brother got whooping cough - there was a vaccine scare in the late 1970's so he was vaccinated - and that was pretty awful.
Re tetanus. The NHS advice is 10 years, or 5 if the wound is contaminated with manure.
Whenever I see the phrase in the UK I assume it's been borrowed from Bob the Builder, who was saying it long before Obama.
I know it wouldn't be the same red squirrels as the original species . . . but they'd still be red, right?
If colour is the only criteria, I'd vote for paintballing the greys.
Is this law still on the books:
A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity.
"Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."
