RE> The problem with Rod is that he knows little about medicine,

RS> Odd, could have SWORN I had noticed that vaccination had actually

DH> Nope.  Several cases per year.  (One could wish.  So near, yet so far..)

Fraid not Dave, the last one in the wild was in Merca, Somalia in
1979. There was one unfortunate lab accident in england after that.

In fact there is considerable controversy about the destruction
of the last two stored samples, in the US and Russia, now that
its never seen in the wild at all. The argument is essentially
about whether it makes any sense to keep any at all now.

RS> Sure beats using witchdoctors Bob boy.

DH> Does.

RE> and their manipulation of all before them.

RS> Corse none of you 'alternative' loonys ever
RS> do anything remotely like that do you Bob ?

DH> One manipulator does not serve as evidence for the
DH> lack of another. (Quite the opposite, in fact.)

Never said it did Dave, but they are hardly in any
position to be howling about 'manipulation of all
before them' when they do so much of that themselves.

RE> Rod also has yet to experience life.

RS> Is that right, could have SWORN I had been doing
RS> that since before you were even born Bob boy.

DH> "Get a life" refers to quite a different function.

Pity he didnt use that phrase at all Dave.
