I like Ansell and sometimes agree with him.

But I have long been a staunch supporter of Jim's admonition that personal attacks...will not be tolerated.

Stop that sh!t.

Ansell, you have a mind, why go to the base?

We had gigantic fights in the olden days on this site, but we tried to keep it civil.

Don't get me wrong, ther were times when I screwed up. Big.

But I always came back to the principal that a fellow Freeper is AT LEAST thinking about SOMETHING.

Thanks, Mariner.

I have my doubts whether a boots-on-the-ground intervention in an ebola contamination zone is an acceptable solution. Neighboring countries seem (so far) to be having success with strict quarantine. Outbreaks in the past often have been stopped primarily by the communities of those infected changing behaviors or processes that were detrimental.

The Army is already talking about how it will process its troops who become infected? Why is that when they seem to be reassuring everyone that the troops won’t be in contact with patients?

Answer: because they’ll be in contact with the population, and in the population are many who are at various stages of ebola who don’t yet know it, and there are even those with ebola who simply can’t find a hospital bed.

Amen...When a long time FReeper is being called a liar by ansel on many threads I have to reconsider my opinion of ansel.

It's uncalled for.
