Actually, I just went to the school nurse 'cause I've had a sore throat for about a week and a half. She said to gargle salt water! I guess it loosens up phlegm that's accumulated in the throat, helps you expel it (or it dissolves it, wasn't sure). In any case, it's supposed to help.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
