5/1     I am currently in a region where SARS is still rampaging through out.
        Right now, my office building has issued couple ordinance such as:
        1. prohibit speaking inside the elevator
        2. wearing mask inside the lobby and hall way mandatory.

        Ok, if this is United States, did any of these orindances violated
        my constitutional rights?
         \_ where do you live?  I will come over and put
            out of your misery.  thanks
        \_ construction workers are required to wear hard hats.  The
           mask requirement seems pretty similar.
           \_ well, we are not even sure rather masks work or not, consider
              that this is a viral disease.  Secondly, who can decide
              when or where one can speak or not?  there is no "clear and
              present danger"    --OP
              \_ It's an offshoot of the cold virus - we know masks have
                 value.  IRT your question - the public need to contain
                 a dangerous plague would override your personal freedom
                 to talk in the elevator.  Thats not protected speech.
        \_ Not in a private building.  It's stupid, but not illegal.
           \_ were you the one saying that constitutional law doesn't
              apply to private properties last time we had similiar
              debate?
              \_ And motd shows that it does indeed have a long memory....

3/21    what are these virus phages? Can they be repurposed?
        \_ are you <b>insane?</b> you really want to start messing with
           recombinant <ul>rna</ul> crap when we don't even understand
           the normal virus lifecycle?

8/20    I can get a screaming deal ($500) to go to Tokyo in February and I
        have never been so I am interested. However, is it really still
        too cold and windy? Will I be better off paying a few hundred
        dollars more and going in April?
        \_ yes. April is better.  Fly first class JAL too.
           \_ Uh, why?
