I am sad that Ebola has become an epidemic, but worried that it might be used as a weapon by a fundamentalist. Our cavalier attitude in treating that man from Liberia who developed Ebola in the US Presents a difficult problem to prevent. That was an accidental event. What precautions can we take against intentional events?
Greek language is more about emotion than content. Hyperbole is used to emphasize meaning. I cannot forget he first time I went to Greece and my aunt kissed me, bit me, and said she was going to eat me. I was 6. I was petrified. It is common in Greece to express disappointment affectionately by saying ' I am going to kill you'. It is our cultural ignorance in the US that makes Americans easy targets for ridicule. If we project ourselves as a superpower to the world, then where indeed are our superpowers of understanding?
