From an opinion piece on the Boston Globe[^]:
But “Frozen” is not just a movie about a magical princess with long blond hair and a glittering dress. It is a story of contagion and quarantine, and thus a timely teaching tool for our children.
...
Elsa’s behavior can be used to inform our children about better decision-making without having to bring up examples from America’s recent history of impulsive and uninformed — or misinformed — decisions about isolating potentially dangerous elements, such as internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, public treatment of Vietnam veterans, and stigmatization of individuals with HIV.
...
With respect to the recent Ebola controversy, just as Elsa tried to do what she thought looked and seemed best for her country of Arendelle — without consulting the rock trolls, who might have known enough about her problem to really advise her — many American political authorities moved ahead with mandatory quarantine legislation before fully accessing the excellent resources available.
I'm LMAO reading this garbage.

I can see my decision to ignore the media has been a wise one.

No, you also need a speaking snowman
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Do you post these things just to be annoying?
Because if you think they are funny, you need a service on your sense-of-humour unit...

Move this to the Soapbox. Religious propaganda - of any kind - is inappropriate in the Lounge.

Look under the "community" menu item to find a list of community forums. "The Soapbox" is the sixth one on the list.

And...a lot of things are considerably older than you might think.
For example, how old is the fax machine? 50's?
Yes, the 50s - the 1850's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Bakewell[^]
(I first met this years ago on a program called Local Heroes[^] - if you can ignore his dress sense, the programs are worth a watch if you find them.)

This topic is even older than you might think.
You posted on the origin of the fax machine back in 2010.

Hey! I have difficulty remembering what I posted last Tuesday!

Yeah you posted that line back in 1856 too. Gotta get on your A-game there Griff.

Maybe at 18:56 - I haven't got the time machine working yet. Or perhaps I will...

You are forever young, my friend!
Or...you are as old as the woman you feel. Which may be illegal in some states.

Ha. Some considerably younger woman fired a barrage of flirt-and-forget missiles at me. When I returned fire, she complained to personnel.
Pretty Vacant.

correctly is the "Z3" of Konrad Zuse the first "Touring complaint computer".
But isnt that a computer: Antikythera Mechanism .
I like such hand crafted ancient stuff. At most the Gold of Scythia 
Press F1 for help or google it.
