Ok, I know I may get flamed for this, but I really don't care
because I firmly believe my view on all this. Just try to keep an open
mind on it.
If Ebola was to spread across the world and take out 90% of the
popullation, I believe this could be a great benefit to man in the long
run. Things are seemingly out of control these days with all the advancing
technology and over popullation. With Ebola, man could have a good, new
starting position were economy would begin to grow once again and the
planet would have some time to rejuvinate itself from all our polluting
and deforestation. I know it wouldn't take long for the the world to
become crowded once again, but since the 10% of the survivors would be
starting a new world with their advanced knowledge, maybe they could
create a less destructive and self-centered way of life. Maybe they would
finally respect the earth they survive off of and know that screwing with
it will only bring them trouble (new diseases).
We have to ask ourselves who's really in control here on Earth? Certainly
not us! These viruses are going to decide our fates! If the Ebola virus
mutates to an airborn one that is lethal to man, most of us will die. It
is something that will most likely happen in the near future.
I don't see it as a catastrophy, I see it as something that is necessary
for the earth's and human's long lasting survival.
What do you think?
