Yes, agree. This is without a doubt the best place
*and* the most beautiful place to live in the world
because it has *everything,* including the perpetually
rich soil from all the rocks, and all the rain. New
England, itself, nurtured the infant nation. Too bad
Yale blew it. For the entire world.

Unless they are brought before justice, people are not
going to know what they are dealing with, with
Borreliosis. It was because Yale refused to
acknowledge the truth about Lyme for all these years,
that this disaster is so out of control. We could
have started culling the deer in 1992... Instead they
said we were nuts, and that Lyme only happens in a
knee for 4 years and then goes away by itself.
http://www.rheuma21st.com/archives/Cutting_MalawistaLymeMay2000.html
Which was why the USA recruited Willy Burgdorfer, a
world class spirochetologist, to work on the USA
bioweapons program.

1975:
"The ability of the borrelia, especially tick-borne
strains to persist in the brain and in the eye after
treatment with arsenic or with penicillin or even
after apparent cure is well known (1). The
persistence of treponemes after treatment of syphilis
is a major area which currently requires additional
study (3,5,10,11).
http://actionlyme.org/Biology_of_Parasitic_Spirochetes1976.htm

1988 Yale Department of Pathology:
http://actionlyme.org/Congenital_Brain_Infection_of_Newborn_Resulting_in_Death.htm
"The death of the newborn was probably due to
respiratory failure as a consequence of perinatal
brain damage."

Residual brain infection in Relapsing Fever:

http://www.ucihs.uci.edu/microbio/index.html?top.html&menu.html&facultyResearch/faculty/barbour.html
"We are taking a multi-discipline approach, including
methods of genetics, cell biology, and immunology, to
study in depth two spirochetal diseases: Lyme disease
and relapsing fever. These tick-borne infections are
notable for multiphasic antigenic variation through
DNA recombinations in the case of relapsing fever, the
occurrence of chronic arthritis in the case of Lyme
disease, and *** invasion of and persistence in the
brain in the case of both diseases. *** ---Alan
Barbour

http://actionlyme.org/Biology%20of%20Borrelia%20Species,%201986,%20Barbour.htm
"The propensity for borrelia to go to the brain of
infected mammals (see below) suggests that the
relationship between these spirochetes and neural
tissues is not trivial. Further study of this
attraction and the interaction that follows may reveal
the basis for the significant nerve and brain
involvement in Lyme borreliosis"-- Alan Barbour

"...the specter of asymptomatic infection is something
that troubles me a great deal and troubles a great
number of my colleagues who need to treat Lyme
disease. The obvious analogy with syphilis infection
with Treponema pallidum is there to consider. It is
well known that Borrelia burgdorferi indeed after
asymptomatic infection can lurk or secrete itself in
certain areas of the body, perhaps the central nervous
system or perhaps the joint spaces, only to reappear
months or maybe years later in the form of late stages
of illness which are harder to diagnosis and treat."
---Vijay Sikand

The combined national institutes say:
--http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/inip/call4proposals.htm
"8. Infectious diseases of the CNS mediated
through immune mechanisms, including acute and chronic
Lyme
disease and neuroAIDS;"

Now why do you suppose the New York Times, the Wash
Post, or the Hartford Courant can find not one single
person who can read even two of those those documents
and report about it in the newspaper?

I used to have a photographic memory. I never used
balanced my checkbook or even write any entries,
because I kept a running balance in my head. I always
knew where everything was, because if I had seen it,
it was recorded subconsciously. I never forgot
anyone's phone number or birth date. If I was going
somewhere I looked at a map, folded it up and put it
away, and rove off, and I NEVER got lost. I could tie
shoelaces when I was two. That's how autism works.
TOTAL RECALL.

Imagine how furious I am.

One day after I got Lyme (at age 30) I suddenly woke
up and discovered I was driving somewhere. 'Did not
know where, did not know why, did not know where I
was, did not recognize the road... All I knew was
that it was daytime.

Complete and total amnesia.

My kids have congenital Lyme:
http://actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm

That's why I am now a "terrorist," according to the
State of Connecticut.

All terrorists are activists who explain these frauds
to the Department of Justice and testify to the Yale
FRAUDS scientists in front of the FDA:
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/01/slides/3680s2_11.pdf
htp://actionlyme.org/USDOJ_COMPLAINT_RICO.htm
It's common knowledge. In fact, that's where I met
Ted Kaszynski- in the Versailles Room on Jan 31, 2001:
http://www.whale.to/m/lymerix8.html

Imagine the true lack of gonads on James Phillips, the
sex-obsessed a*****le, who not only did nothing for
victims of very serious illness despite being given
all the evidence, but blew it for all Lyme victims.

Was Jim in the Versailles Room? Did Jim testify in
front of the FDA and say "this vaccine was never
proven to prevent Lyme disease?"

What did James Phillips ever do for anyone?

See how we measure human value. Now this beautiful
New England is lost. We didn't take care of our
*people* for fear of the loss of real estate value,
and now it's to the point where kids aren't allowed to
jump in the leaves. It's the white people who
succumb, because they're from Northern Europe. Verify
independently, the meaning of Klempner's secret
haplotype:
http://actionlyme.org/ACTIONLYME_VIDEOS_EYE_ON_CORRUPTICUT.htm

We *had* to hold onto every dirty rotten cent, didn't
we? We are so tight-fisted, that we had to take the
beauty of New England with us to the grave and leave
nothing for our children.

fight to keep our kids safe (Boston Magazine)

The Great Indoors
Ticks and mosquitoes are the new backyard bogey
monsters. In the fight to
keep our kids safe, are we ruining childhood in New
England?
By Tracy Mayor

Illustration by Bob Dob
Summer. New England. Schoolâ€™s out at last. Finally
the kids are free to fling
open the doors and pitch themselves headlong into our
great wildernessâ€"
fields, forests, dunes.
Of course, theyâ€™ve first wrestled into long-sleeved
shirts, pulled on pants
and crammed the cuffs into their socks. Theyâ€™ve been
doused with deet, and
theyâ€™ve been instructed to keep to the paved road,
the short grass, and the
middle of the forest path. Brush, swamps, and
low-lying areas are off limits.
Other than that, hey, kids, itâ€™s summertime! Go
crazy.
Across the state this month, children are stepping
from the schoolhouse door
into a more sinister kind of summer vacation than
their parents remember,
thanks to two tiny critters that have invaded our
physical and psychic space.
We speak of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that
causes Lyme disease,
carried from the woods to the doorsteps of suburbia by
the deer tick, and of
eastern equine encephalitis, an often fatal virus
borne aloft by mosquitoes that
favor birds in swamps and marshes of the southeastern
part of our state. The
Lyme disease rate, climbing for 15 years in
Massachusetts, had reached nearly
three times the national average according to the most
recent numbers. And
while eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE, may be
rare, it can be fatal.
Instead of gossip, parents at town ball fields and
school auditoriums swap
stories of the preschooler who died, and the healthy
grade schooler who found
himself unable to walk without crutches thanks to Lyme
disease. They fret
about stories of teenagers with heart damage, middle
schoolers with learning
disabilities, and little kids with migraines, all
caused, the rumors go, by bug
bites.
Amid the onslaught of anxiety, some moms and dads are
pulling their kids out
of day camp and taking a pass on Boy Scout sleepovers.
Theyâ€™re ruling out
school-sponsored field trips, and forgoing hallowed
childhood traditions like
outdoor games of hide-and-seek.
Parents are switching their positions on deet for kids
and pesticides for
lawns from an emphatic â€œnoâ€ to a resigned
â€œyes.â€ Cities and towns are opting
back into mosquito-control programs they once voted to
quit, and, in some
cases, school districts are holding recess indoors,
closing playing fields, and
moving the location of high school football games.
There are the parents who feel truly panicked, like
one North Shore mom,
herself diagnosed with Lyme disease, who dreads the
coming of the warm weather. â€œ
I donâ€™t know how I am ever going to get through this
spring and summer with
the children, knowing what I now know about this
hideous disease,â€ she says.
There are stories of a few parents, convinced that
Massachusetts doctors are
missing diagnoses of Lyme disease, driving their
children hours to specialists
in Connecticut and New York and keeping them on
antibiotics.
Then there are the parents who just say no to the
outdoors altogether, like
the mom in southern New Hampshire who wouldnâ€™t let
her son walk to the end of
the driveway to get the mail last summer after a local
20-year-old died from
eastern equine encephalitis. Some families are even
thinking twice about
getting dogs that could bring ticks home.
â€œItâ€™s very much different than when I was a
kid,â€ sighs Liz Leonard, a
mother of four whose family summers in Duxbury
(mosquitoes!) and lives the rest of
the time in a wooded area (ticks!) in Exeter, NH. â€œI
donâ€™t think my parents
thought about any of thisâ€"EEE, Lyme disease, sun
exposure. Itâ€™s part of my
day-to-day thinking as a parent, and it affects the
way I let my kids conduct
their lives outdoors.â€ For this new generation of
New England children,
tromping unprotected through the wildernessâ€"or even
the backyardâ€"is something
kids used to do, back before we knew better, like
going to the beach without
sunscreen, riding a bike without a helmet, or
traveling in a car without a
seatbelt.
But in the understandable push to keep our kids
healthy, we may be altering
the essence of what itâ€™s always meant to be a kid in
New England. We may be
keeping children safe, but in exchange for the
security weâ€™re sacrificing a bit
of their spirit.
WHILE EASTERN EQUINE encephalitis is rareâ€"there were
four reported cases in
Massachusetts last year, two of them fatalâ€"Lyme
disease is everywhere. It has
marched its way north from Connecticut and the Cape,
northeast from the
Connecticut River Valley, and east from upstate New
York. The state Department of
Public Health says the number of reported cases has
increased in 10 of the
previous 15 years, exceeding 2,200 last year. Richard
Pollack, a researcher at
the Harvard School of Public Health, says itâ€™s only
a matter of time until
every community in the state, including Boston, has
Lyme diseaseâ€"infected deer
ticks.
If the prospect of having a child contract a disease
that can cause serious,
long-term joint, heart, and nervous system problems
isnâ€™t alarming enough,
some parents fear that local pediatricians are
misdiagnosing the disease.
Particularly in communities that have been hit hard by
Lyme disease, some parents
are questioning nearly every aspect of medical
thinking. They say the
standard courses of antibiotics are ineffectual and
too brief; that doctors,
particularly pediatricians, are too slow to test for
Lyme disease; and that the
tests sometimes miss actual cases. Theyâ€™re convinced
that the illness can cause
a host of long-term problems in children: migraines,
stomachaches, fatigue,
and cognitive impairment. â€œThereâ€™s a lot of
suspicion out there that a lot
more people have Lyme disease than fit the
definition,â€ says Lisa Dorval, a
Newbury mother of three. Dorval and her daughter both
have been treated for Lyme
disease.
Most of the medical community disagrees.
â€œPediatricians in this area are well
aware of Lyme disease. It is almost always an easily
treatable disease, and
it very seldom leads to chronic illness in
children,â€ insists Cody Meissner,
chief of pediatric infectious diseases at Tuftsâ€"New
England Medical Center. â€œ
The one problem is the great deal of misinformation
thatâ€™s out there on the
Internet thatâ€™s leading people to believe that if a
child is not doing well
in school, or is sleepy, or has a very nonspecific
list of vague symptoms,
then they have Lyme disease.â€
Valid or not, the fear of Lyme disease has transformed
the brushy New England
landscapeâ€"those woods so lovely, dark, and
deepâ€"into something altogether
more sinister.
AS NEW ENGLANDERS, part of who we are has to do with
where we live, with our
dunes, rocky meadows of waist-high wildflowers, hidden
streams, boggy swales,
and crumbling stone fences. When those private places,
already under siege
from the relentless march of suburbia, become
off-limits to our kids, we
sacrifice a little bit of our character as well.
Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods:
Saving Our Children from
Nature-Deficit Disorder, says the benefits of giving
kids unstructured time in
the natural world include reduced stress, increased
creativity, sharper
observation skills, a longer attention span, a better
ability to cooperate, even a
decrease in the signs and symptoms of ADD. Most
important is the concept of
wonder, says Louv, a visiting scholar at the Heller
School for Social Policy
and Management at Brandeis University. Spirituality is
anchored in wonder, he
points out, and a sense of it in nature is a central
building block of many
of the worldâ€™s religions. â€œWhat happens to the
childâ€™s spirit when heâ€™s away
from nature?â€ he asks.
Carol Decker remembers wonder. Now director of the
Ipswich River Wildlife
Sanctuary, Decker has been leading kids into the woods
for 20-plus years. â€œWe
used to go off in the woods and lie down with the kids
on the forest floor and
have them just listen,â€ Decker recalls, marveling at
the recklessness of it
all. â€œNow, the idea of lying down in the forest or a
field with a kidâ€¦â€ She
trails off. Itâ€™s unimaginable.
And then thereâ€™s that most quintessential of New
England childhood
activities: jumping in piles of bright autumn leaves.
â€œOh, the leaf piles!â€ laments Sue Stasiuk, a West
Newbury mother of three. â€œ
It didnâ€™t even dawn on me that leaves were an issue
until my nephew came out
of a pile with, like, five ticks on him.â€
Stasiuk gets a little sad comparing her own childhood,
spent roaming in the
woods and rolling in the grass, with her childrenâ€™s
more controlled exposure
to the wild. â€œItâ€™s hard. I try not to say,
â€˜Donâ€™t go into the woods, donâ€™t
go into the meadow,â€™â€ she says. â€œBut then when
they do, Iâ€™m full of anxiety.â€

bla bla bla ... as someone quite familiar with New England, it is one of the
finest places in not only the USA to live, but in the world. Beauty,
history, culture, seasonal activities, ocean, etc. I suppose technically CT
is included.

Did Kathleen knock the scenic beauty?

I thought she was commenting about government there,
specifically corruption.

Chuck, Do you really mean to pretend that just because
Kathleen has some "issues" that YOU don't have "issues"?

If she is so utterly ineffective, then why worry?

Did she rattle the skeletons in your closet?

Perhaps being dismissive, minimizing her
and underestimating her didn't work out well for you?

I'd like to see the records on Kathleen's conviction
for using her First Amendment rights inappropriately.

Are those online?

Internet stalking?

Gag orders?

Is it stalking to look somebody up to serve them
with a subpoena?
