Horse Flu

Zero horse float activity. All equestrian movement in Australia has come to a standstill following the discovery of equine influenza at the government's quarantine station, and more recently, at one of the major stables in Sydney. 

Turns out we're right in the heart of this matter. Our horse 'Teddy' arrived from California two weeks ago.  He was scheduled to be released last Wednesday - the day that the EI outbreak was discovered in a couple of his paddock mates. Now he'll be in quarantine at least another month - maybe longer.

'On this point we want to be perfectly clear: socialism has nothing to do
with equalizing. Socialism cannot ensure conditions of life and
consumption in accordance with the principle "From each according to his
ability, to each according to his needs." This will be under communism.
Socialism has a different criterion for distributing social benefits:
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his work."'
-- Mikhail Gorbachev, _Perestroika_
