    Cool Computer fun! Pandemic = 900 million dead'ns.

    Researchers at John Hopkins University simulated the spread of a new illness – a new type of parainfluenza, known as Clade X.

    The simulation was designed so the pathogen wasn’t markedly more dangerous than real illnesses such as SARS – and illustrates the tightrope governments tread in responding to such illnesses.
    Pandemic ‘could wipe out 900 million people,’ experts warn
    It could really happen.

    American politicians played out the scenario – which was built to be extremely realistic – where a doomsday cult released a genetically engineered virus.

    The anti-natalist philosopher David Benatar argues that it would be better if no one had children ever again.
    I never took those opinions seriously.

    It's well written. Not to be taken too seriously, except by ideologues of a certain persuasion. Did you read the whole thing? I enjoyed it.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    The point is the softening up in preparation for multibillion dollar government grants that would otherwise come as a shock.

    ... And God gave man the atomic bomb, but man was s-o-o askeert.
    So man gave man global warming, and it was good. But men scoffed. "Bull$#@!! Ha ha ha!" they scoffed.
    So man gave man Bill Gates, and it was good. But man said, "Bull$#@!! I'm hardwired and radio hooked like Jetsons' maid, but I'm still here! Ha ha ha!"
    So man gave man Ebola, and it was good. But blacks survived and whites could not, and blacks said, "Where all dey whitay wimin at?"
