Today's morning dose of anger.
Ah, yes, the "Freedom Walk" - if you show up without pre-registering, you will be arrested.

FEMA is in the business of internment camps.

Bush compares himself to Roosevelt. Jim Macdonald dissects that comparison.

In addition to all the diseases you get in places where sewage is everywhere and no clean water can be found, there were at least two Level 3 Biological Laboratories in New Orleans Smallpox, bubonic plague, HIV, anthrax... and all the test animals for all of the above.

They've supposedly had to call in psychiatrists to try to convince people to evacuate New Orleans. That really shouldn't be necessary.

Psychiatrists don't really help when the attitude is a perfectly rational one. They may be slightly paranoid, but it's not like there's no reason for it.

Um, not smallpox, that's BL4. But still.

(The others you list, I think, are all BL2, except maybe weaponized versions.)

Actually, I think the biosafety level kind of depends on what strain and/or what you're doing with it. When I was doing HIV research, it was full level 3. The same lab was working with Hanta virus, also level 3, but there are Hanta forms that would have been a level 4. There was a lab working with Smallpox but it was separate from ours and there were no level 4 labs where I was, so I think even for smallpox it depends.

Well, of COURSE you'll be arrested. it's not like the american people have the right to peaceably protest their government.

Actually.. put the whole Bio-weapon escaping thing into context with the "internment" camps.. and tada! you have quarantine facilities. 5 months is just enough time to make sure you don't have a new plague racing across the american heartland.

Stop watching Nazi movies, and start watching Outbreak. :P
