I came to this forum because I own, and have owned several Mercedes Benz automobiles and I am so far as I can tell, quite well received here. I am also a member of most all the other MB forums, as some of you know as I do post my username as "BusyBenz" also as Salmonella, and Ragtop, and BenzBob!

I'm not altogether certifiable, as I write on my signature. I have 8 years of collage and several certifications, mostly within engineering. I had been a marine surveyor for nine years. Currently I am a caretaker for both my elderly parents here on Cape Cod.....Yes I'm a liberal...and proud of it!
I'm most impressed by the fact that you're an 8 year-old collage. And certified.

Sounds like you just can't stand anyone who doesn't think the way you do....you show this by ignoring what got those people banned, and which is an offense I have not participated in. Most people here know exactly what that is also.....since you find it so irresistible to snipe at me personally I responded to the comment.

Yes, I'm a conservative and proud of it....and I also don't go for this PC crap and tell it like it is.

I thought about just ending anymore to do with this forum!

Seems a waste of my energy, and others, to view what we have to say!

I've tried, and I've seen others try, and some banned, namely KV, for trying to convey. I give up!

fellow MB owners are not always going to see the light from the same direction, and I, at 50 years of age, am not going to try and educate why I hold belief in not only mine, but others, including KV, or even Brian C, both of which I see hold very similar belief.............

I respect BHD, because there is a sliver of thought that he may see a difference, but for the rest of you REPUBLICANS, WHO, please tie your leash firmly with Dick Cheney, not W? If this is where your salvation is.....The W is way off track from where we need to be as a country!

20 million only, for vaccination Avion Flu, according to W, is not acceptable!

KV violated several cardinal rules of the board..and thats why he was gone...

Avian flu.........you do know any vacine is useless once it mutates....and it has yet to mutate into a form thats transmissible human to human...so what form should they go overboard on......I see what you are trying to say, however there is a big flaw in your assumption of if the vacine would be the ticket or a huge waste of effort...any vaccine for the flu is for only one strain they THINK will be the big one....it works for no other strain.

I did four years at Connecticut...Avery point....two years at MIT in Cambridge.

I also had a brief stay at Westlawn...in Rhode Island.. for you guessed it, marine surveying, of which today I am a member of SAMS, and NAMS. No longer an insured practicing member as of 2002......

I'm now changing and programing oil changes on Yanmar, Westerbeke, and Universal 3 and 4 cylinder marine diesel engines. My big excitement lately was changing oil, 5 gallons each, two engines, a pair of Cummins 903, eight cylinder engines in a 43 foot Italian made Riva! I used to make around $40 an hour! Now I take home a $600 weekly paycheck!

I do own my own home, it's paid for! Last year my home gained value $100K, here on Cape Cod!

I'm driving a Mercedes Benz, and all my bills are paid!

I'm 50, and you know what...............I'm over the hurdle!

Been there, done it!

I just hope now I will be able to hold on to what I've got!............

and stay with the Benz stuff?

Look. I hear you there.....I have been trying this week to bring myself up to speed on what we should know.

I haven't....just haven't had time....but all I heard was that at best, 20 million could have vaccine, including police, doctors, nurses, military, politicians, and not necessarily in that order...... But I think, why end inclusion only at 20 mil, and with only one supplier? I should think that our government should be enacting protection, full-speed, with all pharmaceutical suppliers, what ever is possible!

I'm guessing that biology and public health were not topics of study during your 8 years in higher education.

yes. I was just surmising from your comments regarding flu. It's a hit or miss type function getting a vaccine right with the normal flu. More so difficult with a mutating virus. Federalising all pharmaceutical companies is not going to happen any time soon. Spending gazillions buying up a vaccine for 300 million people which may work today but may not tomorrow doesn't seem like a smart way to go either. 20 million doses may provide for herd immunity is selected locations coupled with control on travel while remaining cost effective so as to enable money for other measures. I think both of these have been discussed in the latest plan. Granted, I haven't read through the latest plan completly but a plan is better than no plan. There is great and terrifying potential in the H5N1 strain. It could kill millions or it could dissapear with a wimper. Eventually something comes along that decimates, it's nature's way. Hopefully we're prepared.

Much of what is forward from where we stand is unknown....I want to live beyond next year just as you, or the next!

I'm concerned that our government is not, or has not, taken full measure with full seriousness, or at least mine, a program that includes all Americans.

Some indication from our government where they are proceeding?

Can you elaborate more info on this subject?
