“yep”

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“apparently it is 'very limited' in amount.”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“so it was a new case of Ebola we needed to create a new serum for?”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“well seeing as the people in the us were getting better, i was wondering why they werent giving it out to the people in africa...but now it seems they are”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“probably both...gotta make their money some how,right?”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“oh ok so we just try and stay extra sanitary to stay away from it, I am thinking raw chicken that might be another thing”

★ Spotlighted from Mike Dwornik

“They will be cranking out the serum like nobody's business if anyone gets sick in the US. Big bucks. ”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“how long did they have this "cure"? did they have before the outbreak? they were bloody fast with making it anyways”

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“The drug is a cocktail of three "humanized" monoclonal antibodies that are manufactured in a group of fragrant plants or bushes known by the genus name Nicotiana. = ZMapp”

★ Spotlighted from Mike Dwornik

“Ask your doctor if ebolanomo is right for you. ”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“robin when I read "humanized" I thought gmo :p”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“oh see this is all to deter us dirty hippies trying to living more "naturally" right? haha”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“they put a lot of airborne shit into our air and people don't care about that... it is ridiculous, like because the media tells people to freak out most of them do :/”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“and i think the only reason its become so big here in the uk and the rest of europe...is because of that priest dying. before that? hardly anything”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“pesticides?? let's freak out about that first mm kay? they have more of a chance of harming you than this”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“well in Africa and other poorer countries I can see why it would hit hardest there, the question i have is there a reason it hardest in Africa? we have been going after their resources quite a bit haven't we?”

★ Spotlighted from Chris Owens

“I read an article that said that many families that have infected family members aren't taking them to isolation areas, preferring to keep them home and pray. Another way religion isn't helping.”

★ Spotlighted from Barry Hamill

“this ebola outbreak everyone was saying there is no cure it usually takes 90 days to create a vaccine for new strains of a virus 2 american doctors were infected and the us had a vaccine for them in less than a week .....suspicious as fuck”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“and did scientists just give up on trying to find a cure? I hope they have at least been actively trying this whole time, although part of me wonders”

★ Spotlighted from Chris Owens

“And if their family members survive, and I hope they do, it will just bolster their faith in religion.”

“i liked the idea of shopping at amazon using your mind....just one look and its in your basket”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“@Mike - L'oreal, cos he's worth it (flick flick of hair)”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“that is messed up, they can play with it in all kinds of ways then can't they?? little creepy..”

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“No medical reason to bring Ebola to the United StatesnThis patent may help explain why Ebola victims are being transported to the United States and put under the medical authority of the CDC. These patients are carrying valuable intellectual property”

★ Spotlighted from Chris Owens

“Patent the virus so you can make money on the weaponization.”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“@Chris - oh you cynic you!”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“so speaking of this, don't they have a bunch of viruses and contagions locked away in some vault somewhere? why would we KEEP these things, why not detroy them?”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“i blame barney the dinosaur”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“hmm, but that doesn't stop them from potentially using them for harm either does it?”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“they need the fear and the panic first, and they had it”

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“so, rebecca...; does that mean they brought those two people back so it could spread and cause an epidemic here and then they can sell the cure for a huge profit?”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

★ Spotlighted from Barry Hamill

“my fave movie of his was one hour photo”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“Robin Williams was one of a kind.”

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“#RobinWilliams is just meh. But Robin Williams? A true comic. @Lee - being a comic, how much influence did he have on you?”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“well and so often I think people in the "business" don't feel justified in feeling depressed, I think people like that are higher risk than most, alot of people get into it for some sort of attention and validation and you won't it outsideyourself :/”

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“that quote going around attributed to him is really chilling now. about how being around people who make you feel alone is the worst thing ever.”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“i heard that the reason he did all those voices? was cos no-one would play with him as a kid”

★ Spotlighted from Robin Maynard

“he was incredible, most of his stuff was improvised. off the cuff.”

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“He could go from Ork to Mork, to One Hour Photo to Dead Poets... i mean, his range was fucking crazy. drama and comedy put together so seamlessly.”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“sometimes we end up putting on more of a show for others than we ever intended... it is so important to be raw and truthful in this fake world :/”

★ Spotlighted from Mike Dwornik

“True, Eleanor. ”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“artists by definition see the world in deeper shades and emotions than others I think”

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“@El - YES. It is a weird give and take that nobody is ever in control of. I find humor in some of your lyrics with Rev Rooftops, even though you deliver it in anything that would look like comedy.. the sign of a true artist i think.”

★ Spotlighted from Mike Dwornik

“It's like against the law... Very rebellious. ”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“Aladdin is great too! I think everything he did was great, I can't think of a movie I didn't like him in”

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“Dead Poets Society is my favorite. You get the manic humor, the impressions, but you get large doses of the darkly comical too.”

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“Actually, somebody made the point.. Fisher King, What Dreams May COme, WOrlds Best Dad, Dead Poets Society.. a lot of his films have suicide themes in them.”

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“I just fucking hate all the hype surrounding this very tragic issue. Lawrence O'Donell did a long monologue on it, then had James effing Lipton on, then he was reading live tweets of a clearly inebriated Chevy Chase who was doing tweets in all caps..”

★ Spotlighted from Lucy Dyer

“anyone else see that twit pic from CNN of the press relases from the family asking for privacy...while they were flying over the family home?”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“I just hope his energy is in a good place now, somewhere his soul can be at rest”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“well we are humans, we are flawed, but everyone acts surprised when that fact is shown again and again, what we need is more compassion, maybe then people in pain would feel comfortable talking and expressing how they feel”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“I imagine the star status he was at, you would just be surrounded by people "wanting something" from you all the time, and not knowing who to trust”

★ Spotlighted from Rachel McDonnell

“i wonder if depression rates go up as the quality of our society goes down, people say it is like a "nothing" issue but there has to be quite a correlation, makes me wonder if people are just weighted down by all this crap and most try to avoid”
