All of this has been systematically put into place by the people DB felates. They can't (can they?) believe that destroying the bottom 95% of the population will be good for them in the long run economically, so it almost seems like they really do think it is some sort of moral cause to get rid of the poor people. I guess psychopathy is the explanation.Durwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-19246999912085351592014-09-17T08:52:17.681-05:002014-09-17T08:52:17.681-05:00Good morning, Mr. Glass.

They don't have public health systems, roads, effective police and military, etc. and then you get EBOLA.<br /><br />Ebola will travel faster and will kill more than ISIS ever will. <br /><br />You get ISIS type groups when you don't have a vibrant middle/working class and big government to look after all those "small things" which make up a decent and healthy society.<br /><br />Perhaps Mr. Brooks and all his good friends can get it together and go fight the Ebola outbreak. Oh, they want big government to do that. Well then you had better be prepared to pay big taxes.<br /><br />e.a.f.noreply@blogger.com
