			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">Stored safely in travelers bodies upon return from exotic destinations are just as exotic bugs –travelbugs.   Catching a ride on high speed vehicles to colonize new planets, the darlings have “traveled” the world and today are more prolific than the w.w.w. humans are so fond of.</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.65em; text-align: justify;">Where did  this interesting juxtoposition of terms originate?<a style="text-decoration: none; color: #b54141; border: 1px solid white;" href="http://coletteobrien.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/bugs_mantis.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="bugs_mantis" src="http://coletteobrien.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/bugs_mantis.jpg?w=291&amp;h=300" alt="" width="233" height="240" /></a>There are 145 million links on google,and though I didn’t read through all of them, the first few pages didn’t give the original derivation of the term.  How many links do you think there are in the bug world? Quadro-trillions? (If Shakespeare could make up words, so can I, and though today we think “he’s Shakespeare,  he’s brilliant.” When he made up the words he was just a guy and his mother would surely have protested at the proliferation of misspelled words on his pages.</p>
<p style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.65em; text-align: justify;"><a style="text-decoration: none; color: #b54141; border: 1px solid white;" href="http://coletteobrien.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/silly-shakespeare.jpg"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="silly-shakespeare" src="http://coletteobrien.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/silly-shakespeare.jpg?w=222&amp;h=300" alt="" width="178" height="240" /></a></p>
<p style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.65em; text-align: justify;">Now, about those bugs, the difference between a home-grown bug and those brought from far away places is that our bodies recognize the difference and tolerate the home bodies with reasonable discomfort (reasonable discomfort being an oxymoron). While, on the other hand, they react violently to strangers, even when the stranger is no more of an actual threat.</p>
<p style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.65em; text-align: justify;">Our psyche reacts just as the body; experiencing reasonable discomfort when those we know hurt, abuse, ignore, or violate our persons while fearing a stranger no matter how kind their intentions.  We trust known individuals to do what they usually do and distrust the unknown for we do not know what they may be capable of.</p>
