David Quammen, an author of multiple books on science and diseases, including “Ebola,” and "Spillover," argued against a ban on flights to Liberia by stating the US has a “responsibility” to the nation “given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery” on Thursday’s “AC360” on CNN.
Quammen first argued that such a ban would not be feasible because “it’s impossible to track them [people flying from Liberia],” and “you can't isolate neighborhoods, you can’t isolate nations. It doesn't work.”
He then said, “people talk about ‘well, we should not allow any flights in from Liberia.’ I mean, we in America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery? We have a responsibility to stay connected with them, and help them see this through.”

Speaking only for myself here but I never owned a slave. When others did in this country, my ancestors didn’t own shoes.
I read somewhere that he is upset that flights have not been cancelled from Africa.
I like the way you side-step the whole "its" vs. "it's" debate!

Really. If you see it, post it. It’s not what he’s been saying.
Decades of liberal brainwashing in public schools has rendered a citizenship that is too bleeding stupid to be able to handle a crisis.
This does not bode well for the future...in ANY scenario.
;-)
If they are slaves, when are they going to mow my lawn?
And Liberia was founded for what reason?
That is just stupid.
Liberia was founded by folks including freed slaves.
I suggest he up the amperage.
Exactly.
Liberia was founded by freed slaves.
Not too many other people in history have done much of that, nor helped the freed set up a government and nation of their own.
It was on townhall.
Assuming his head has more less constant resistance, the 4160 will take care of increasing the amperage.

On Townhall right now ... CDC says not banning flights ... apparently WH approves:
From several days ago. Same thing:
I don’t see anything, anywhere that Obama wants fligghts stopped.
If you see it, post it.
Okay, just want to make sure the job gets done correctly.
No. To DC.
