SOME THOUGHTS ON EBOLA CASES IN UNITED STATES---WE NEED TO THINK FOR OURSELVES AND MOVE AHEAD WITH OUR LIVES

Regarding concern and fear about the two cases of ebola in the United States, it is true that government lies (Just like the private sector) all the time, that people who cause bad things like wars based on false pretenses & economic collapses don't get punished, that we were content to sit around and do nothing despite warnings New Orleans could not handle a major hurricane, and that the government did willfully infect black people with syphilis and radiation. 

You can't blame folks for being suspicious and worried. 

On the other hand, we have a major political party that has as a central platform the refusal to expand health care to all, a Surgeon General nominee blocked by opposition from the gun lobby, a public in Texas that voted to reduce legal liabilities for doctor negligence and conservatives saying ebola is a plot to put people in camps run by FEMA. 

In the background is the AIDS epidemic not so long ago that Ronald Reagan & people on the right ignored and said was God's judgement, while many gay folks and gay allies looked the other way as long as possible saying addressing AIDS was an attack on the gay community. 

The bottom line is we have to think it all out ourselves and offer helpful views as best we are able. 

There are helpful calm voices out there offering sound medical and social practices to combat ebola. Let's seek them out and move ahead with our lives.
