the speaker on the right wing radio blog that he posted is the one that made the assertion that folks were flying from Monrovia to America directly. He was the idiot. There are no direct flights. All such flights go through Europe. Specifically TP didn't make that statement, he just posted a video that was saying the same thing many on the right, including here, are posting. again, I didn't label TP, I labled the idiot in the video. I understand you have issues with such subtle points but trust me, the structure of the language allows such distinctions. I wasn

That is not surepip's solution; it is the chicken industry's solution to viral infections largely because mechanized farming is like one big slum where the presumption is all in infected and even if they survive, their body weights and history make them unsaleable products. Last time I looked we weren't selling people.

I think the point is that we all have high expectations regarding the professionalism of cops, lawyers, judges, county commissioners, state legislators, state police, teachers, doctors, hospitals, road departments, journalists, etc. etc. down to citizens whom we expect to obey the law. When people fall short of those expectations, we talk about it. Professionals, whether it is engineers, soldiers or surgeons, on the other hand, don't like people in their profession being called out for less than exemplary behavior. Some, because they feel like the mud spattered from those stories lan

Surepip: If you ever have trouble getting a youtube to play, click on the youtube logo on the right bottom just left of the 'full screen' button. That will take you to youtube to play the video. Beyond that, I don't think I can help you. pubby

You will start scaring me seriously if you start agreeing with these people. pubby

I'm sure, yes, I'm so sure, you'd have done the same if you happened to have been there, Zorro. pubby

Is that so different from the Koch brothers and the pollution associated with emissions from their power plant or, for that matter, ABR's love of pre-emissions hot rods that spew tremendous amounts of hydrocarbons ... or the folks who pump oil into their diesel trucks to create the clouds of sooty smoke. I make this post because, well, selfish behaviors - the old greed is good credo - seems to hold sway amongst a ton of folks. pubby PS: I think dark clouds like this do have a silver lining ... they demonstrate really how interconnected and dependent we are on the wise actions of al

At 12 miles it is not Paulding county. pubby

If it is at the Georgia Peach, it is more like 6.3 miles as the crow flies. Just measured it. Figured as much. pubby

He didn't want to have his plans, which probably extend back beyond the first case of ebola in the spring, to be interrupted. He no doubt had invested time, savings, etc. in his effort. Those reports are wrong. The only way to know if you have it is to be tested ... this is particularly true while it is gestating. He may have thought he may have it but as I suggested before, he was probably in denial ... that is, unless when he helped her and she puked on his hand and he 'licked it off' because he was so stupid ... but then if he was so stupid, he wouldn't have been in a position t

Chainshaw: So MLK should have been hushed from his jail cell in Birmingham. Have you never read Henry David Thoreau? Both were known for their expressions of freedom yelled from behind bars. You can't make a blanket rule of the nature you suggest with out destroying the first amendment ... and Lord knows there are those in government who have tried. pubby

What a crock. TP ... Planes don't come in from Monrovia idiot. pubby

Me too ... but I don't think that his act is of the degree, because there was a good chance he hadn't contracted it, of a random shooter. I don't think it was in any stretch his intention ... he was just executing his plans like a free man expects. pubby

I don't know why you folks can't vote. glassdogs can vote .. It may be a privacy setting on your browser or maybe even the browser you are using. I actually have seamonkey, firefox, IE, opera and safari installed and occasionally use them all. It doesn't hurt a thing to have them all installed. pubby

Here is a bit from Buzzfeed on how a county official showed understanding that the woman and her relatives that were hosting the ebola victim before he was diagnosed, went in and visited with the family in the apartment and also arranged for them to take a break while they are under quarantine to live in a bit nicer home on a multi-acre compound in the county. Duncan's remarks, as reported by the NYTimes, included that he was wearing the same shirt that he wore in the apartment and he was planning to go home and have dinner with his family in that same shirt because they aren't contagi

Topic closed for excessive replies by the same guy. Come on TP ... be considerate. pubby

If people don't like, they'll feed it to the dogs and they'll like it. Go Animal rights (the pets suffer too when momma is sick.) pubby

Could have fooled me. In terms of time, "it" being in Texas represents, in drive time, about the same amount of time (maybe a little less) than the flight time from Africa. So in terms of time, it was always as close as Texas. I understand the 'gut reaction' you have to this and it is not rationally driven. I put up a poll in another topic asking of the 10 people + 50 people +850 people in Texas who had varying degrees of exposure to this guy after the hospital dropped the ball on the first presentation, how many do you think will be infected? My gut is somewhere between

Well I don't think it is happening at Lanzo's ... although he's hosted them before ... because that wouldn't be but five or six miles away as the bird flies. The public, free movie is at the airport ... and it is one free activity. It is the location of the other event that is at issue. I'm guessing somewhere in Cedartown. pubby

I think you confuse stradial for surepip, Sound Guy ... I don't think he's ever been a duke nukem kind of guy like stradial is pubby

I'm not so naive as to think people won't lie. Judgment is the Lords ... and it could be argued if the guy lives, he was merciful. I suspect the guy will gladly serve his 30 days in jail if he lives to return to Liberia. pubby

It was a false alarm. The rest is off topic. topic closed. pubby

Yes, and another bit of proof you are among those who insist that no good deed go unpunished. It is sad but the guy took a risk to help some one which is a compassionate act. One might even think that God directed him to lie on the form because in so doing, he was able to make it to America where his chance of surviving is probably quite good comparatively. Indeed, if he survives ... one might suggest that God was more forgiving than the Liberian officials. pubby You still have to have a visa in hand to travel from there to here. It is not like taking a plane to Vegas. pu

What they also didn't say, probably, is that doctors sometime are arrogant bastards who don't listen to nurses ... or patients. However, as noted in the Cobb Jail experience, the charge nurse is what brought the doctors to bear on the inmate who was sickly and had recently traveled to Africa. Of course that turned out to be a false alarm like most are. pubby

Brietbart? get serious. First, this trip was planned and booked with visas etc. on Sept. 2 .. He didn't have it on Sept. 2nd or he'd still be in Monrovia and probably dead. I'm pretty sure with his future ahead, he didn't go out and get it just 'for the experience' ... drugs are cheaper and provide a lot better experience with much lower risk ... even if the delirium is a good one as you slip near death. pubby
