If Rachel Carson's stupid book "Silent Spring" hadn't come along maybe DDT wouldn't have been banned and we could easily control mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus.

I understand your point but, to be honest, I hope to catch West Nile Virus.

I'm not yet elderly, I don't have a suppressed immune system and I'd rather be among the 10,000 or so Louisianans who do have (and don't know it) so as to build up an immunity I can use when I do get old or I am sick.

I'm not sure everthing's quite as it seems ... though any excuse is a good excuse these days to call an "Emergency" and spend some money.
