The Importance of Ebola

[James Steven Garrett]

: Well, chappie, right you are...(flame on)...you are indeed a moron. A 90% mortality 


: Incidentally...the earth is not in danger. There is very little that mankind can do 
: to the earth that isn't reversable in a geologic age or so. It is the human race 
: that is in danger here...and if you're an example of someone possessing 'advanced 
: knowledge', I'd say we're doomed.

In danger, no , of course not.......if we atomize ourselves and our flora 
and fauna to pink radioactive dustbins, the earth itself is *still* in no 
danger. The point in question, I believe, is whether or not mankind has a 
propensity (nay, proclivity) to make his surroundings uglier, and I think 
the refrain is a heady "amen". 

I cheer the author's absolute misanthropy; Man attacks Rain Forest, Rain 
Forest attacks back. Score 100 for Mother Nature. Here's to you, Ebola Zaire!
