21. So much talk, so little understanding.

"When it comes to infectious diseases, the collective jurisprudential message is as clear today as it was in centuries past: Public health concerns can warrant the state's intrusion on personal freedoms."

This isn't about childish guilt by association team sport politics, but you know that right?

This is about how we deal with a new disease in this country that we have not had to deal with before.

All of this immaturity and selfishness.

West Nile was unheard of a decade or more ago in America. Now places hard hit spray against mosquitoes every year. I have very bad asthma. I get a great deal of inflammation and flare up when and where I have been when spraying occurs. And it isn't just about me. Get it? I suffer a little, sure, and others don't get sicker. I learn to manage my asthma during those times as an adult who has learned to think about the I and the thou.

This woman is not a victim of some grand political conspiracy to make fucking Obama look bad.
