Oh Florida.....

More recently, Daniel made news for driving his pickup truck though the city with a large sign described in a Tampa Bay Times story last year as emblazoned with a "Confederate flag, a Nazi flag, a photo of a lynching, Mayor Bob Buckhorn’s photo, references to Home Depot and multiple uses of the word "n-----."

Daniel, who is black and has been affiliated with the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement, was ejected from several meetings in 2003 and 2005.

It was an attempt at some dark humor, but it is a very real and scary thought to me in all honesty. Hell, the super flu that was just going around this year killed a bunch of people some of which I even knew. With an over reliance on antibiotics and as the world becomes more and more cramped and interconnected we're almost due for mother nature to come and knock us down a peg.


I've always been fascinated by infectious diseases though, it's amazing how something so simple can change so rapidly and adapt and take advantage of an environment it's in. Also, I for one welcome our new indestructible water bear overlords.

Richard Preston makes for entertaining reading. As for tardigrades, I was way off base, thinking they enabled police call boxes to travel through time.

In case anyone else was wondering, from Wikipedia-
The Uhuru Movement (Uhuru is the Swahili word for freedom.[1]) is a socialist movement centered on the theory of African Internationalism, which provides a historical material explanation for the social and economic conditions of African people worldwide. The Movement has been led by the African People's Socialist Party (APSP)[2] whose chairman is Joseph Waller who founded the movement in 1972.

P.S.- I love the good people of my state. NC rednecks are so boring compared to Floridians.

You really can’t top the inbred methed out insanity of the Sunshine State. The I4 corridor is like being in a permanent episode of Jerry Springer.

I grew up about 45 minutes north of I-4, but most of my family lived in Lakeland and Winter Haven. Those are definitely the lands of which you speak.
