Just received my copy of Richard Preston’s “The Hot Zone”. I will finish reading it this time. Tried reading it in 1994 but it scared me so much, I put it down and never went back. The descriptions of the disease and what it does to the human body is truly terrifying.
Tepid sponging?
Yes, I fear you are correct. Progressives’ WWI dreams all over again....
From then the spread of Nationalism, to now, Progressivism. Same thing as old style
Communism of the Soviet Union. AKA, Stalinism-Bolshevism, as they worship both as a religion.
The problems and frustration of bringing WW1 to American shores is our Constitution and pond.
The one very document holding back the tyrants is one damn piece of paper.
Liberals have never wanted a Utopia, it's a smoke screen, a lie to achieve
their totalitarian goal of destroying Freedom. They also believe that
they will be spared.
There were people back then who identified themselves as progressives. And some of them absolutely wanted WWI and believed it was necessary to “cleanse” the world.
Of course, among the men who died needlessly were many brave and valiant men, the flower of American and British manhood.
The vile manipulators calling for conflict were not the ones who suffered in those trenches.
I see the same sort of micreants now shouting from the rooftops for war, but neither they nor their sons nor grandsons will not be the ones who lay down their lives.
If I did not have my religious faith, I would be so despondent right now.
