That is not criticism of the process. The United States is doing a great job with this.

Gee...I wonder why THAT might be? Maybe you're not as bright as I thought.

So am I, but other people's hysteria is starting to IMPACT MY LIFE to varying degrees, if I actually have to SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU.
You must be one lucky man. This isn't affecting you at all. Your child's schools aren't shutting down...your occupation and/or business isn't negatively affected by all of this....your 401k isn't headed into the shitter....
Thaskalos is untouched! Congrats man.

A country like the US has no choice but to make decisions that are best for the whole.
IMO the US has been handling it about as well as they can.

Oh...it's affecting me more than you could know. And bitching about it won't help me any. But if it helps you...then keep at it.

Browsing the net today, I came across a new device that people can spend time using to fill the void......I think it was called a "book."

how does this work?
So does everyone who bet the 'over' lose their 'win-totals' wager?
