No, I'm giving al little perspective to show how much emotions play a role in our reactions/outrage to certain threats.

this is so stupid.

if you made a graph of ebola infection % in the western hemisphere .... the chart would be beginning of time through September 2014 = 0 September 2014 through today = 3

I bet that would be one hell of a spike

I think a lot of the "outrage" is a result of how incompetent/inconsistent the administration's reaction has been.

Yet, people are exponentially more outraged and worried about Ebola.

Thats 2500 more (vehicle) deaths and 1 more (Ebola) death than have died from Global Warming in the US.

Yet, much outrage from a global 1* increase in F over 20 years. If that much.

People scared of what they are scared of. I'll probably never die from a great White shark, but I'm still scared every dang time I go to the ocean, and will probably die of heart disease, of which, I couldn't give a crap about...Its just human nature....

My qoute "I have a funny feeling that Obama would be more pleased to halt traffic than these flights out of Africa. Obama's ideology is what drives him the most and nothing else. Dangerous thing, a very dangerous thing to give power too."

Prove me wrong, I'm willing to listen to anyone
Snow me something that says Obama isn't driven by his ideology while making everything about politics with him. Obama would probably be more pleased stopping cars(Green) while catering to his party. Than doing what one should probably do when a deadly disease,Ebola, can cross your doorstep. Obama's ideology and being such a hardcore leftist has skewed his decision making skills. Plus, skewed his governing skills too. I try to read many sources instead of just exposing myself to what I might just agree with at 1st. I've found plenty of evidence of Obama being the way I've explained, and not much showing Obama not being this. Lately it's like everyone has woken up or something, but that's probably self preservation at work here though, especially politically. I'm willing to bet the future sides with my thinking too, once Historians get done with Obama. So let the unbiased links fly away showing Obama not being what I say Obama is. I'll read whatever argument you bring to table saying otherwise....

Insulting others thoughts isn't my thing
Either is English, but I get by.....

Well this thread isn't going as planned at all.

Just for kicks this is some mortality data from the CDC for the year 2010

Flu and Pneumonia is pretty interesting at 53,826 deaths.


Number of deaths for leading causes of death:
•Heart disease: 596,577
•Cancer: 576,691
•Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 142,943
•Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,932
•Accidents (unintentional injuries): 126,438
•Alzheimer's disease: 84,974
•Diabetes: 73,831
•Influenza and Pneumonia: 53,826
•Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 45,591
•Intentional self-harm (suicide): 39,518

If the odds could be decreased a bunch to whether or not cancer reached our shores. Would you do that step to make that happen? Sure seem like the logical step to me, and all those other disease total numbers don't really matter here. Hopefully Ebola gets the attention it deserves after all this because it's scary. Plus, people can do things to help prevent(No smoking, eating right, etc....) those other deceases illness. Ebola not to much, you get it by someone Else's actions. Why this no fly or fly is even being debated in beyond me. We've got the Military that can carry supplies, and the excuses the administration is giving. Is like all this Administrations other excuses, lame......

* Right now, someone could easily get on a plane to get to America. 150 possibilities a day they're guessing with open flight happening.
* Or do you make it tougher and do steps(Stop Flights) to slow those numbers down 15 fold(0-5 Ebola person a day maybe)

I love math, and I'm no gambler
But 150 compared to possible 0-5 is less of a chance.
I'll take the 2nd odds all day long

Hopefully no one is boarding a plane with Ebola
To someones hometown here
