Viruses, Boss, think viruses. Taxpayers of this country spend billions on guns and tanks and airplanes and bombs and ships to protect us from our enemies but what I think is that the thing that'll get us in the end is a virus. I don't buy that. A virus got those beasts, is what I think. Viruses got a lot of other animals that disappeared, and maybe entire societies of humans, as well.
Viruses are capable of destroying more than all the H-bombs ever made.
And if they see something coming that threatens them, they'll change, and become different creatures that the threat can't touch. What I suspect is that certain clans of viruses doing low-grade damage live among us all the time, and thrive pretty well, and make us just a little bit sick. I further suspect that our city has its own personal virus, suited to our culture, and causes a disease I call houstonitis. I see the symptoms or hear about them almost every day. I just keep on feeling below par, not quite sick enough to stay home from work and yet not really well.
