OWK, you've been around here long enough to know that there is no point in replying to Illbay. He's a sad, strange, little man with no function in life other than to get on posts and throw bombs.

On a point actually related to the post, do you remember a few years ago when the CDC was trying to determine whether or not they should destroy the last remaining smallpox samples? Their reasoning was that since the disease had been wiped out, we should go ahead and make it completely extinct.

The WHO actually oversaw the destruction of all other specimens save those in the United States, and the former Soviet Union. They had a big "eradication" ceremony.

Looks like they may have spoken too soon.

Quite the contrary. He's demonstrated the abject moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the pointy-headed libertarian position on these matters. He's taken libertarian idiocy to its logically absurd conclusion. You are left without a response, so you slang him.
