Why are rare coins valuable?

I have a very interesting friend. He's top notch. But, he asked me this question and I had to think about it a while.

"Why are rare coins valuable? Because they are rare. The answer is in the question."

Okay, he's a friend. He has his value set. If I disturb that with a better answer, am I being a friend?

If he's reading this, No. If I had another answer, sharing it would have been wrong.

So here's the counter question.

"Why is one teddy bear priceless to one child and just a toy to the rest of the world?"

And there would be the harmful answer. Anyone know that answer?

Ebola! Five times more dangerous than Dick Cheney

As media savant Grayson Daughters said today, 'We' should be embarrassed when the hational 'news farms' cover Georgia's issues better than anyone in Georgia. The New York Times ebola coverage provided this information.

As [Emory]doctors and nurses there worked to keep desperately ill patients alive in August, the county threatened to disconnect Emory from sewer lines if Ebola wastes went down the drain. The company that hauled medical trash to the incinerator refused to take anything used on an Ebola patient unless it was sterilized first. Couriers would not drive the patients’ blood samples a few blocks away for testing at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And pizza places would not deliver to staff members in any part of the hospital.

Since I'm not a serious blog, I'll compare sanitation with pizza and sandwiches.

When Emory had one (1) ebola patient, the pizza places stopped delivery services to staff members. Jimmy John's speedy services continued while local government wanted to cut off the water.

So much for the defenders of the Noble Cause, Bible thumping, Sunday morning compassion, and Southern manners.

No pizza for you! Said the pizza Nazi from Atlanta.

No water for you! Said Boss Hog.

No courage.

For all the talk and posturing about a New South or the merits of the Old South, when the jungle comes calling in Atlanta, Atlanta's finest invoke the basic laws of the jungle.

Governor Perry refuses to seal Texas border

This just in from Mars.

With ebola killing 100% of infected people in Texas, it is time to seal the border until the crisis passes. However long that might be.

Governor Pick Perry refuses to close the border to air travel. Seems Mr. Perry is not campaigning for President but needs to visit all 50 states between now and the Republican 2012 Convention.

He can't do that if he shuts the border to all travel.

With a death rate of 100%, Texas is the new ebola epidemic epicenter. Perry could become the new Typhoid Mary. Only Mary didn't have plans to destroy the Blue States.

If you're still alive to see Rick Perry running the remains of the country in 2013, don't cough up blood.

Deaton Creek Tennis Courts, Hall County Commission, and a Democratic Party Club?

There's a story in the Gainesville Times from the Hall County Commissioners meeting.

The subdivision, Deaton Creek, needs tennis court repairs. The county is responsible. There's a water line running under the damaged court. But, when the residents request repair, the All Red Republican Party County Commissioners delay the repairs.

Why?

Well, Deaton Creek has a Democrats Club. They sponsor forums for Democratic Candidates. They hold a monthly meeting. And, members of the subdivision worked to recall current Republican Commissioner, Craig Lutz.

Lutz claimed the recall was a personal attack. He harassed all the people involved. His wife confronted one of her neighbors with a how dare you sign a petition. Nice way for a teacher to act. Just walk over to a strangers house. Knock on the front door and start spewing hatred.

So Deaton Creek needs the tennis courts fixed.

Fat chance.

Ebola patient dies in Texas.

Not meant to be funny.

Had this man died in another continent, say .... Africa, I'd know nothing about him, his family, or his life.

Now, for predicting how Fox will handle the news.

Ebola death rate hits 100%! Secret Obama Death Panel Pulled the plug. Eric Holder refuses to answer Congressional inquiries into Ebola mercy killings. Program known as Fast and Furious II. ISIL behind attack in Benghazi where US strain of ebola was stored. Obama's ebola cure hidden behind WMD in Iraq. Muslims immune to new strains of the virus. Congressional Republicans call for nuke strikes against Israel. Rick Perry marries gay man with a fever.

That should cover it.

My sympathies to all who lost a loved one today or any other day.
