What would you do if you were quarantined on a cruise ship full of measles?

Enjoy myself. I had measles as a child and am thus immune.

I seriously doubt that a cruise ship would be full of measles. Cruises that I have been on were very health conscious and worked hard to prevent the spread of any illness on board.

There are many slave owners and racists who have been honored with monuments, statutes and buildings. If some, why not all?

During the 1787 Constitutional Convention, a proposal was made that would allow the federal government to suppress a seceding state. James Madison rejected...

Not all combat is equal by any means. Some jobs are just less dangerous than others even in active combat operations. For instance incoming artillery rounds sound different from outgoing artillery rounds. I learned this from experience in about one day. The luck comes in when the spot you picked to take cover in gets hit or not. The first you have some control over, but absolutely no control over the second. This information is from Korea. Experiences after that may be different.
