Why?

Because not enough black people have died yet.
In Somalia?
Yeah maybe if enough blacks die in Somalia there won't be skinny half dead blacks with BB guns and little row boats taking over giant ships with a crew of fat white gutless and gunless pussies at the helm.

Nature is going to win and Mother Earth is pissed at how we are abusing the land.

But Ebola is nothing (yet) compared to the Spanish Flu of 1918.
From Wiki:
The global mortality rate from the 1918/1919 pandemic is not known, but an estimated 10% to 20% of those who were infected died. With about a third of the world population infected, this case-fatality ratio means 3% to 6% of the entire global population died.[30] Influenza may have killed as many as 25 million people in its first 25 weeks. Older estimates say it killed 40–50 million people,[4] while current estimates say 50–100 million people worldwide were killed.[3

I'm surprised that, as yet, a normally noisy group of people have not declared that Ebola victims are being punished for some imagined offense against their favorite deity. I really am surprised. Or maybe I just missed it.

Now that you mention it...
I mean, historically you're as right as rain.
God getting' 'em cause they played with themselves, or some such nonsense.
But hey Cuzz, it ain't over yet and some preacher may come out of the woodwork and proclaim just what you are suggesting.
Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

Yah, it's just they're getting an uncharacteristically late start. Wink

Yea, and I now wish I could "redact" that previous post. Not anything to joke about.

I was surprised to read that an African doctor treating ebola patients had died from the disease.

Surely he could have stayed a safe distance from the patient while he danced and waved his magic bone.

Proving even the witty can harbor some misguided prejudiced against folks from other parts of the world.
This African PHYSICIAN may have studied at the best medical school in London for all we know.

But, forgive me for getting all bound up and serious on you. It is kind of a funny mental image, and God knows "darkest Africa" does still have it's share of ignorant "doctors" treating the sick with ignorant practices learned from their grandparents.

And we here in the good 'ol USofA have our own ignorance to tolerate. Not long ago a child here in our own county died because his parents "had total trust in the healing powers of God" and would not allow a physician to treat the kid".

Whatever: I still look forward to your wit and wisdom Chuck. Just had to make the editorial comment. If for not other reason, to push TVg's buttons and send him off on some kind of argument rant. Razz (He is such a fish! Laughing)

And they will isolate it and hopefully cure the person. If not, one person dies. Sad, that.

But sometime Google the number of people who die each day on our highways. Or of heart decease, cancer, diabetes, ugliness (like TVg Razz) or embarrassment (like me when I try to get cute. )

The Ebola thing is sad, for sure. And scary. But from things I read we don't need to fear a spread of it here in the US (or Europe). We need to be SO thankful we live in a place on this blue planet where we have good living conditions.

PS: Trivia. Heard the other day why Ebola is capitalized and cancer is not. Ebola, the decease, was named after a river in Africa near where the first know case was known to have been discovered.

Now isn't that special, as the Church Lady might say.

I take it cancer was NOT discovered near the Tropic of Cancer then?
