But neoliberalism calls for the unrestricted movement of people and especially money and good.

It is hard to enjoy while afflicted with a hemorrhagic illness.
This is where some of them laws would actually do some good, which of course is why you object...
People have sex with animals a lot in Idaho. They need about a quarentine for animals a lot more than for ebola there. A vet should understand that.

As of this moment the odds are 330 million to 1 in your favor. Maybe you should play the lottery today.

Yes, the glib, gleeful answer to the potential for exponential spread.
So what is your favorite farm animal?

There is zero possibility of exponential spread barring some dramatic mutation. If it should become that virulent then quarantine is the least of our worries.

Obviously the ass since I spend so much time dealing with them on patnet.

I think vigilance is in order.

I think vigilance is in order too. But not stupidity and panic.

I have no idea what other posters look like.

I don't want to judge, we all have our different ideas about chasing ass

Must be pretty dark in there!
Oh goody, I'm sure my 11 year old will appreciate you sophisticated sense of humor, although by age 11 most boys are too mature for your humor so I don't know. Are you call up 7/11 and ask if they have white owl in a can next?

Is English your second language?
Nope, just bpbbled a cut and paste without seeing it. Good of you to notice with your 4th grade language skills.
So you never answered the question. Did you and your buds call the sev and giggle for hours about your "wit" or just go out to try to get someones big brother to buy you a 6 pack of beer.
The present Ebola crisis in the world is frightening. I have submitted the following letter to the editor of the
Lewiston Morning Tribune:
Editor, Lewiston Morning Tribune:
If I wish to import a horse into the United States from Liberia or any African country other than Morocco, the horse needs to undergo a 60 day quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling with the general population of horses in this country. Africa has a disease called African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the US; this is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse Sickness does not cause disease in people, only horses; our government has determined that it would be devastating to the US horse industry if it were to come here.
The United States (and virtually all other countries) require a myriad of tests and often quarantine prior to bringing in a foreign animal.
I can’t legally cross state lines in the United States with a horse or cow without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian stating that the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact I can’t legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in Idaho without a health certificate and a negative blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia.
I’m not complaining; the United States of America, the States of Idaho and Washington as well as the other 48 states take the health of our livestock very seriously, and we have a very good record at keeping foreign animal diseases out of our country. I am happy to do my part to maintain biosecurity in our animal population.
If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the United States all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie when asked if I have been exposed to Ebola. Within hours (no quarantine required) I can be walking the streets of any city in the United States.
I feel very fortunate to live in a country that values our animals so highly.
