That’s the way things work in this strange world ... a person stands up for individual liberties, against overbearing government intrusions and gets labeled a Democrat. I’ll retire to Bedlam.
A quarantine for a disease that kills 2/3rds of it’s victims is an “over bearing government intrusion” now? Seriously? You can take this individualistic, rugged Marlboro Man $#*+ only so far, FRiend.
Though not specifically in the Constitution, Public Health seems to be a legitimate function of a gov’t of the people, especially the local ones.
It is not overbearing.
Any able bodied person fit and adaptable enough to go to Africa, a foreign country, I’ll add, to treat, voluntarily, people with a deadly, mysterious, contagious, horrifying disease, is able bodied and adaptable enough to withstand three weeks of isolation.
If she’s contracted the disease, she’ll soon find out that there are degrees of isolation.
She will be infamous.
And if she spreads it, she’ll be infamous for a long time.
but this is no big government protest.
So do you think trying to protect against outbreak of disease is an unwarranted intrusion on liberty by government? Its not like she was singled out for no reason. Please explain in more detail what you mean.
Even individual liberties have limits. They are set by things called laws. But you knew that.
I’d call her and those who agree with her grossly ignorant and selfish. Exactly where will she be and who will be near her when she becomes symptomatic? Would you let her move in with you and your family?
As was pointed out on another thread, they quarantine animals to keep our stock healthy and not bring disease from another country but people from Ebola stricken countries? Not so much. They can walk around spreading it until they have symptoms. So, animals are more important than people? Really?
So when she infects others by exercising her *rights*, and they die. Then what?
Charge her with murder or just blow it off because she has a *right* to do whatever she pleases, others be damned?
Hickox doesn't have an inalienable right to play Russian Roulette with other people's lives.
Not sure how you think that she does.
I agree with you!
I have watched in amazement as so called conservatives are crying the loudest for The Government to take control and protect them from their fear. No matter how unreasonable that fear may be. It hasn’t escaped my liberal friends attention that conservatives, who talk tough, are f the first to quake and shiver like Scooby Doo whenever America faces any challenge.
That’s how we ended up with the NSA
Remember?
