This is a local paper where I live and the column was printed yesterday 5-11-10. I don't like the columnist's style anyway and normally don't read her stuff. I read this one because of the title to see what sort of propaganda she wrote. I am sorry that her granddaughter was bitten, but like so many people, she is not providing much in the way of accurate sources and only adds to the hype. Small town Michigan at its finest.
