10/5 Today's NYTimes article:
Scientists reconstructed 1918 flu virus (from woman who died from it
and got buried in Alaska's permafrost), and say it is a bird flu.
Scary!
\_ We should just pass a law and make it illegal to be ill with the
the bird flu.
\_ Or have the army shoot them, how 'bout that?
\_ No, that presupposes that people will get sick of the disease.
Why plan for failure that will never happen? A solution that
presupposes no one will get sick is much better. Why create
a mechanism to deal with errors? Why debug? Just make sure
there are no errors and no bugs to start with.
\_ Would you please be so kind as to warn us if you ever run
for any political office with any real power? Thanks.
\_ Are you putting down President Bush's faith-based
initiatives?
\_ Or the poster below's unshakable faith there
will be a vaccine for any pandemic?
\_ I have a feeling that US Army is going to use it as a biological
weapon
\_ It already did. It's called the smallpox blanket.
Go Manifest Destiny!
