[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mark Zuckerberg just announced he and his wife are donating $25 million to the CDC to help fight Ebola in West Africa.  Good for him.

Maybe that money can be used toward a plane solely for humanitarian/health care personnel and then, we can actually ban people from those countries from entering the US until this blows over. [/quote]

Sure, let's steal the money donated to helping people in West Africa and use it towards your political agenda instead.

An agenda? If you keep your child home because he or she has strep, is your family a victim of an agenda? Or, are you just protecting the other kids?[/quote]

If you advocate for the right to steal from dying people to protect your individual child then those people are the victims of your screwed up agenda. [/quote]

Our country's first agenda should be to keep ebola out of our country. We can help them, feel sorry for them, send aid, but we do not need to join them in their suffering. [/quote]

We aren't talking about our country here.  We are talking about $ that two private individuals have given [b]to the people of a West Africa to be used to save them[/b].  Reallocating that money to help protect Americans would be theft.[/quote]

The money was given, not to the people of W. Africa, but to the CDC to fight the virus in W. Africa.  Using it, as a pp has suggested, for a plane to fly humanitarian workers and health care personnel over this IS fighting the virus in W. Africa.  [/quote]

There are plenty of commercial flights available for that purpose.  No need to divert resources from more critical needs like setting up treatment facilities and providing appropriate protective gear to medical personnel.  Sorry but this is more important than further reducing the minuscule chance that some uptight DC paranoiac will be infected playing soccer with black men.[/quote]
