AND SO?????  
This is not precise, nor is it articulate.  From this and other 
posts to this group, and a post to me, all I can deduce is that Cde 
Chatski appears to subscribe to some sort of conspiracy theory 
regarding the origin of Ebola (and probably other viruses as well, 
judging by the above).  Is Ebola supposed to have escaped from a 
lab?  Whose?  When?  How?  What proof is there of this?  If none of 
this can be supplied, I suggest friend Chatski take his dark and 
cryptic ramblings somewhere else.  Like alt.conspiracy.ebola.
