Remmember when the first maulings started? You were probably thinking: Well, it's not here it's in Cuba. Whatever. Poor people . Then the news from Cuba got worse with each day that passed, until the same thing started to happen in the US. Then it became: Well, at least it's not near me. Then it became an imminent threat to you and your family until there were two things left to do. Stay put and hope it'll be painless or fight back and try to survive.
