There is a world plague called Shistomiasis that hasn't reached America but is now in the Caribbean caused by a very nasty intestinal worm that started in snails found in a small country south of Egypt on the Nile. The death comes very slowly, painfully and disgustingly since you're definitely in the process of being eaten.

Another of my unpopular belikefs isw that people should stay out of the water, except for Jacuzzis if one likes that, etc. Being There ----------- Remember the Vice-President in JAWS, who had to go into the water to prove he had no fear of being attacked by Osama bin Laden, because his President told him to do it so they could present a united front to keep the tourists coming, and, like Hubert Humphrey when Lyndon Johnson told him to shoot an animal on his [Johnson's] ranch, Humphrey didn't have the guts to do what he believed was right. But, in JAWS, maybe it wasn't so much lack of courage, as fear of losing his job that made the Vice-President do what he did not want to. Bad: "the water", crowds, traveling (esp. to exotic places). Good: Sipping La Tache from a Baccarat tastevin, Reading Rabelais and discussing it while doing item #1 in the company of good friends. \brad mccormick -- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works....
