Just finished THE DEMON IN THE FREEZER by Richard Preston. It's about smallpox being used in biological warfare. Smallpox is an absolutely terrifying disease with little natural immunity and horrifying effects. It would be relatively easy to "cook" the smallpox virus to the point where it could blast through any immunization. If any nation can be shown to be experimenting with this virus for offensive purposes, as far as I'm concerned it's an act of war and a crime against humanity. They have to be stopped. Read this if you need to stay awake at night.

Interesting that small pox is rearing its ugly head in certain spots of the world, after we thought it had been erradicated. Or, maybe it was and someone helped it return...? Hmmmmmmm!

Its unreal how pieces of garbage like this are popping up all over the world. I would love to shove a k-bar through every one of their tracheas. That is of course after I cut their ears and noses off and gently place them down their throats. Oh yeah, eye lids are a sweet spot too. Forgot about that one. Although, I have never burst anyones eyeballs with my thumbs, or peeled skin, I would make an exception in these cases. This is all thoretical of course.

Have you ever noticed that no one seems to be afraid of a largepox attack? That is what keeps me up at night.

You can see the largepox coming and run away. The smallpox sneak up on you.
