The earf lubbers think this is a good thing. Hey, Jimmah, impress me and get rid of mosquitoes.
On the other hand, maybe his little hobby keeps him from ruining too many other countries.

To: Libloather
We all know jimmah’s record against rabbits. Maybe a worm is a more even match for him.

I hope all comments for saving the guinea worm are seriously tongue in cheek.
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
I guess at this point, the Guinea worm is an endangered species. Wish I had a million bucks to finance a lawsuit to enjoin the Carter center from killing this priceless resource.
To: Libloather
I give credit to Jimmy on this one. The guinea worm is particularly nasty.

Are not most of these freaks concerned about “endangered” species not also those who spew out or believe in theories of evolution? What the frak happened to that ‘survival of the fittest’ BS then?! “Endangered” species, BAH!. Let ‘survival of the fittest’ do its work. =.=

This fight against the guinea worm is a battle former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has waged for more than two decades in some of the poorest countries on earth. It is a battle he's almost won. Like he almost rescued the American hostages in Iran, and almost got re-elected, and almost isn't a raging anti-Semite, and almost didn't suck at everything.
$5 on the worm.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Isn’t it kind of bad form for one worm to wipe out another worm?

But, but ... the guinea worm might produce an enzyme or protein or something that might wipe out AIDs or anal warts or something even MORE important!

For all we know, the Guinea Worm could be an essential part of the food chain. exterminating it could set off a chain reaction that will kill the entire planet.
Save the Guinea Worm!

Whats next hug a virus?
These people are freaking crazy(and at least jimmy can't cause any mischief this way by looking for Guinea worms)

Africa seems to have way more than its share of really crappy creatures who need extermination. If Cahteh can get rid of some, fine. Keeps him busy and out of trouble trying to relate to actual nhuman beings.

True. Fine creatures like the Dodo Bird, Woolly Mammoth and the Passenger Pigeon are gone forever but nasty parasites remain. Jimmy’s hourglass is almost empty and the elimination of the guinea worm would put a little something on the positive side of his scale. He needs it.

The author T.C. Boyle wrote at length about the guinea worm in “Water Music”. You have to wind them from the back end, where their excrement exits your body, slowly but surely around a stick and tape that securely to your body. If you break the worm, you die of infection.
