Hi folks, Shedding my relative obscurity of late, I'd just like to remind everyone not to wander too far towards the political or partisan in our discussions here on the main list.
I hope we can all agree that there's enough blame to go around for the state of things, and a lot to be suspicious of as far as the way the US has been led over the last few decades. I would expect similar sentiments to a greater or lesser degree apply to other governments whose citizens are also our fellow members. The conjoining of governance with corporate interests is pretty much universal and deeply entrenched. As far as ebola is concerned, all I can say is there isn't enough *trustworty* information available to reach any definite conclusions as to what's going on and how much of a threat it really is for each of us and our families. All I think we can do is make reasonable and prudent preparations to the extent we're able to, and hope for the best. As far as our list's primary topic, colloidal silver and its relatives, I think we should be prepared for at least a mildly increased number of new people joining as things develop and folks explore their options. I ask you to be particularly attentive during this time to make sure each new person gets their questions addressed. Finally, let's not spend a lot of energy being too wildly speculative as to the potential conspiracies and agendas behind the scenes. It doesn't matter as much why things are happening as determining the nature and extent of the potential health threat and the best things we can do to prepare or respond. Partly this is for the sake of focus, and partly for the comfort of new people who may not be as ready for or interested in "conspiracy theories" as they are for practical information. The saner we can appear, the less likely we are to scare folks off who've already been scared into coming here in the first place. Let's welcome them and help them learn. As always, I depend on you to govern yourselves first and foremost. I thank you all from the depths of my heart for doing this so well over so many years, even during the times I've been largely absent.
