The Great TB Scare

A guy, who has a drug-resistant form of TB, flies off to Europe, gets married, flies back, and causes the lemmings to go screaming en masse over the cliff.

He broke no laws, but still ended up in federal lock-up. They called it a "medical quarantine". All his tests--so far--have shown he contaminated no one, infected no one, nor did he endanger anyone's life.

He was even scheduled for a special surgical operation in Denver to handle his problem and eliminate it.

OK, one guy, with a serious disease, but not one that guarantees the death of who ever gets it, like AIDS.

You get AIDS, it's a death warrant. The drug cocktails taken by HIV active victims only delays the onset of AIDS, and when HIV blossoms into AIDS, the clock starts ticking... you become one of the walking dead.

So why the uproar over one TB dude, when we have literally millions of AIDS carriers wandering freely around in our society? And if AIDS is so hard to catch socially, why is it a world-wide pandemic that has already killed millions?

We sure have our priorities messed up one this one. But, as one would suspect, if you bring up the AIDS disaster, you are instantly labeled homophobic.

Well, label away, but I'd prefer TB to AIDS any day.

Amazing that this white guy gets busted for TB and blasted by the "objective" press, but millions of wetbacks enter the country with it every year, and nobody says jack about it...Go figure?
*sarcasm on*
Now Bobert, you know how politically incorrect/old-tone it is to tell it like it is on the sodomite V.D...How insensitive!
