Name-calling, I learned from Mrs. Smitha in first grade, is bad manners. But this kind of special pleading:
"The media is making a big hype of this bird flu that supposedly if it mutates correctly will kill millions worldwide.
Bush made an off the cuff comment last week about looking into using military for policing and quarantine of large parts of the country in the event the bird flu came to the US.
In the meantime, millions worldwide = maybe 25,000 very old, already sick, and very young in the US. Africa, South America and SE Asia may be hit hard, but not us. We are too healthy over all as a country.
But, Bush has presented it and Dianne Feinstein seconded it in Congress the other day."
...is total rubbish. A front-loaded assumption, selective "evidence" that seems to provide support, leading one to conclude that the original assumption is legitimate is bad manners too--not to mention out of place in "one of the more respectable forums out there".
...gotta go now to purchase more silver. The Masons, after more than three hundred years (or is it four?) of planning, will soon bring about a crisis in the
international money supply!
