99.5% of us never have to serve in the wars our national clown posse runs, so can sit at home, stuff Doritos in their mouths, and watch “Real Housewives of Beverly hills.” BTW, be sure to “support the troops” and place that bumper sticker on your car, we are “the greatest nation on earth” as all our presidents dutifully cheer on our national conceits. Our leaders in either party can be dumber than dirt and as corrupt as Tammany Hall, they just need to make us feel good and “safe” for our approval. They enable our isolation.
The hysteria has more to do with incompetent leadership than Ebola. Travel from West Africa needs to be isolated as much as possible to protect the rest of the third world. The hypocrites are the weenies that think that quarantine is something that should never be considered for a disease that_to_date has only ever been stopped by quarantine.What do we represent as a people anymore? Aggressive wars, drone murders, Guantanamo, swaggering arrogance, rank hypocrisy, Lady Gaga? A bunch of feckless weenies in hysteria about Ebola but perfectly content to isolate Africa and let it rot so we can go back to watching football and drinking beer and feel "safe?"
The real experts like the scientist that first discovered Ebola say it has to be stopped in West Africa before it spreads. And certain no quarantine is going to be perfect but it does increase the against it spreading. Point of fact Nigeria dodged a bullet in preventing an outbreak there after one person got on a plane in West Africa and flew to Lagos. A city with massive slums and a weak medical system.
We have been warned for years and years that Ebola was one of the most serious threats to the human race. Apparently for the most part that has fallen on deaf ears in the WHO and the US government.
Ebola is not something that chances should be taken with But chances have been taken. Now 5000 people are dead.
