The only things i worry about are the things I think I can control. Job, bills, relationship etc. odrama, libtards, Muslim killers all piss me off but doesn't effect my day to day

I'm not panicked but I an concerned about the disease. I am concerned about the way the disease found its way into the US and that others may also come here for treatment but possibly infect others by doing so.

I guess anyone that worries about the disease is a kook?

False.

Nothing wrong with being a little worried about a (relative) unknown. I do think there is some exaggeration and embellishment, but thats the media we live with today. Gotta sell papers and get clicks.

There is a difference between people worried about catching Ebola themselves and those who are upset about a government whose actions lead to even 1 American death (or sickness) by a disease that should not be here.

Downvote.

I'm worried in the sense that I took microbiology and history and understand how there is a propensity for an occasional "plague" that thins the human herd and how it is usually accomplished . My Gramps lost between 1/10th of his grade school class in 1918-1920 to just such a thing. It killed approx. 50 million people globally.

But concerned would be the word that applies to me and I imagine most people. I'm concerned that the economy is bad, and that I don't eat enough vegetables. I'm concerned that Pimp Jr's math tutor isn't helping him.

As for Isis, the same thing. I'm concerned that the centuries-old Islamic Death Cult has their sword out again and that the reaction of The Liberal Chattering Class is to lecture us on our need "not to worry about it".

There are those who wish not to debate issues honestly so they use words like "obsess". If you aren't talking about ISIS and Ebola imho, you are much more likely in fact to be a low-information-type. Why minimize the major global political movement of our time (Islamism), particularly when it wants to kill us? Why minimize Ebola when it has an astronomical mortality rate and is just this month appearing in our country?

I think people understand the odds of being struck by lightning, beheaded by a sexually-frustrated loser in some desert and dying of Ebola in their city in America. I applaud them for being curious enough to have even heard of either Ebola or ISIL, since not many low information types have.

Have you been under a rock??? It's the "Liberal Chattering Classes" that are cheering us onto war (along with neocon support) and, in this instance, actually leading us into war.

Good point. And I agree they are banging the war drums. But they are also schizophrenically lecturing us on the fundamental chewy-goodness of Islam. Who can make sense of all this sanctimonious, contradictory overload anymore?

If you are worried about getting it at wal-mart you aren't very bright...if you work in health care like me...it is a legitimate concern.
