What's more believable; it's the eeeeeevil Republicans plotting to kill off those that dare vote against them (as the idiot who wrote this suggests), some moron who accidentially brought this over from Africa, or something intentional from our "friends" in the Mideast?

I have never read so much Rachel Carson Blarney since Silent Spring... socialist dialectic intended to confuse the issue....three questions only are important...1) explain precisely the first foci and how it got here 2) kill the mosquitos 3) develop passive or active immunity for the people.... the "ecological" balderdash spouted by this piece is pure obfuscation
