Well, Dave, let's see - you must be one of those danged blue guys who live in the big cities and never goes outside.

Just how do you think your buildings got built (outside) - how about paying for building them at night (avoid outside activity), how about your kids? (do they run up and down the stairs or are they allowed to go out?) do you put insect repellant on them every few hours?. Please stay off the roads (they are built outside and also there is a lot of CO2 there, which attracts mosquitoes to the roads).

And how about those environmentalists - building up the swamps (wetlands) and getting rid of DDT?

Considering that I, and a very few other people, have a natural body chemistry which mosquitoes don't like to bite, I felt it might be useful to study and figure out how/why they don't bite me and some few others like me. But, when I tried to volunteer, great research revealed that no one is even interested. Meanwhile, hundreds of people are dying, and more and more will.

Hey Stinky, I guess you now have an excuse for not taking a shower, your natural body chemistry repells mosquitos.

As far as making sure that your kids are wearing insect repellent, thats part of being a parent. You do make sure your kids wear their seat belts dont you? You dont allow them to play in the streets do you?

For all your paranoia, fewer people have died or gotten seriously ill from West Nile than do annually from the flu. Are you going to demand that the government figure out a way to use your unique body chemistry to drive away the flu bug also?
