I'm glad my kid is grown and I always have believed that all these childhood diseases had to do with environmental factors. When I heard about the vaccines I wasn't surprised. It's absolutely discusting! I would not have anything done to my child w/o reseach. You have to these days. If I had to home school I'd rather do that than expose it to something as poisoness as mercury. We all know that stuff is bad for you, remember the thermometers?
I don't see how cornhole (what ever his name is) can support something that even might possibly be so dangerous.
And as far as the illness parties, I had chicken pox and measels and I survived them. In the old days people brought their kids together for the same reason. You want them to get it and get it over with. There are pills for everything fricking thing now. Even women's facial hair. For crying out load what happened to the tweezers!??
