Hi Garnet & folks,
> Some odd thoughts of the very young:
> 1. How come all these different germs don't fight each other?
KIDS: #### Maybe they are really all the same - until something happens.
Answer: They do.
JR's comment - No they don't.
> 2. Where do the really bad ones come from, like plagues?
##### If they are there all the time, why do they only come out sometimes?
Answer: Mutations
JR's comment: Not mutations - triggers. The famous N.Y. Rats Experiment.
Even in Oz - which is like another planet in some ways...... "unknown"
forces trigger automatic culling of various species regularly.
> 3. Why is it always only 30% of the population ever dies from these plagues?
#### God getting rid of the weak ones?
Answer: It is isn't, some plagues kill whole villages, reaching near
90%. Ebola comes to mind.
JR: Not from my research. In the Ebola case the people simply wisely ran
away. Since records have been kept in many places all over the world, the
figures are a pretty constant 30%. ( Some of us statistically-minded types
using commonsense to support/discount data claims, have concluded that
the 30% is one of those magical things like the Golden Mean, or 42. :-)
> 4. Why did Nostradamus' wife and kids die and him not?
######## Were they just weak ones who didn't listen?
Answer: He was not home, he was out taveling curing others of the plague
and he was fastidious in his preventative treatments. He was also a
Kabblaist.
JR: Actually he was an Acolyte True Alchemist who was almost converted away
by the Kab a'la -lists who believed that the Ku a'la ( The Records/ Golden
Threads) should be revealed to all - or at least to them.
It is true that the practises of an Acolyte would almost guarantee good
health - only a deliberate toxin seems to be able to damage one. Or - suicide.

> Answers next time ?.........
Answer: Why wait for someone else to give you the answer.
JR: Saves eons of time - and all it requires is swallowing one's vanity. :-)
Kilneth once remarked that "our knowledge of the facts is like our brain's
concoctions of "reality". Amazing what can be constructed from so very
little. All it requires is blind faith. Miracles of good or evil are
possible from the same root."
------------------------------------------
How is all this, CS List relevant?
Even faith in CS is not enough. It *IS* a case of the 3-legged
stool. There is the case of environment/re-infection and attitude.
But there is no force as powerful as a determined human mind. Maybe it can
change a planet????
I'm also going to add H202 to the armoury!
Cheers!
