It was a triumph born of hope over adversity. Today we read about polio in the history books and the dreaded iron lung, is thanks to Dr. Jonas Salk and those who worked to find a way to prevent the disease, is an anachronism. We can tame Nature and allow people to live happier and healthier lives. One has to pay special tribute to the nation that made it possible. Americans have always refused to take "NO" for an answer. Its our heart-felt idealism that makes our land and the rest of world, day by day, a better place in which to live.

Polio would already have been conquered if the ignorant Muslim savages of Nigeria had not refused immunization, on the grounds that it was a Jewish plot to steal the penises of their sons.

A decade or more of progress was rolled back thanks to the stupidity and bigotry of the Religion of Peace.
