Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Health care worker in Dallas has Ebola

Campfire Irony:

Government screws everything up. The government needs to do something about the ebola outbreak.

Private individuals and organizations are always better than government workers or organizations at solving problems. Except for letting an ebola carrier walk out of a private hospital.

We are truly fugged, might as well laugh about it..

communicable disease moves through a population of susceptible individuals.

is there anything new here? when I served under the war criminal Johnson and his seconds in command McNamara and Westmoreland, all of this was prophesied.

nothing new. just stay alive as long as you can. ok?

Okay.

Obama got a big break when mother nature threw Hurricane Sandy at the east coast just before the election.

I'm thinking the GOP is getting a break from ma nature. Don't wish it, but so far the stupid response by the "all is well, don't ban travel" CDC is going to again highlight the administration's incompetence. You can argue about the government's proper role in our daily lives, but emergency response IS the prime task of government, and nothing angers average folks more than government screwing up emergencies.

Hopefully someone will grow a pair and start taking decisive action to control the spread. But I'm afraid there will be more Americans getting sick, in the next few weeks.

They didn't build all them fema camps for nothing; but do they keep the sick in, or out?

They warehouse all the .22 rimfire ammo. Duh!

Where did Doc go?

Someone find out if radiation kills the ebola virus!

The shortage of 22 ammunition is due to the large increase in new shooters

the decision to bring that communicable disease over here into the US might go down as the worst decision eve made by a federal government?

I thought confining a disease was rule one? of course, I could be wrong. Presdent Johnson, another democrat, made equally bad decisions.

but, thankfully, the Tribunals are in the Plan.

"When the Johnstown flood occurred, social power was immediately mobilized and applied with intelligence and vigour. Its abundance, measured by money alone, was so great that when everything was finally put in order, something like a million dollars remained. If such a catastrophe happened now, not only is social power perhaps too depleted for the like exercise, but the general instinct would be to let the State see to it. Not only has social power atrophied to that extent, but the disposition to exercise it in that particular direction has atrophied with it. If the State has made such matters its business, and has confiscated the social power necessary to deal with them, why, let it deal with them. We can get some kind of rough measure of this general atrophy by our own disposition when approached by a beggar. Two years ago we might have been moved to give him something; today we are moved to refer him to the State's relief-agency. The State has said to society, You are either not exercising enough power to meet the emergency, or are exercising it in what I think is an incompetent way, so I shall confiscate your power, and exercise it to suit myself. Hence when a beggar asks us for a quarter, our instinct is to say that the State has already confiscated our quarter for his benefit, and he should go to the State about it."

.gov let him in the US.

eyeball ain't much for irony..

Irony or BS. "I'm from the government. I'm here to help."

I don't think he has your faith in government.

If I don't have faith in government, I'm not going to expect them to deal with the problem.

An important step in the enlightenment process 'is' losing faith in government.

I went to the range to shoot some [bleep] up. Claybirds, mostly, with my "new" 20-ga double and when that got boringly predictable I started shootin' 'em with my 45...

Of COURSE radiation kills Ebola virus... enough rads will kill anything!

Hey, eyeball, we might just have a bird dog this fall after all!! I took Barney with me to the range yesterday and today and sonofagun if he is not only NOT scared of gunfire, he chases after the bits of broken claybirds as they fall to the ground! I even did some retrieving tests with him this afternoon with a couple of dead doves I had left over from the other night, and sonofabitch if he doesn't chase 'em into cover and pick 'em up! He's a bit hard-mouthed yet, but we'll work on that...

So I guess when I say that I avoid Dallas like the plague....

Doc, I never said that I was against a ban on travel to/from Ebola land. The point I attempted to make is if we had have banned travel much earlier we would have stood a better chance of not having a break out of Ebola here at home.

Now that we have a home grown case of our own, the banning of travel is much less significant. We have no need to fear the import of Ebola any longer as is has been imported and we are now growing our own.

Perhaps some will start banning us from travel to their countries.

The horse is out... not so important to run shut the gate.

I hope this is a more clear explanation.
