Yeah, Ted. and when the Europeans cam to this continent they brough
anything from VD to the common cold to the Indians.
So.. what's your point?
================================================== ====
His point, you simple tool, is that with 40 million illegals now in our
country, none of which have had health screening of any sort, the entire
nation has one more immediate and serious demographic/social/health problem
to deal with. As if we didn't already have a wealth of problems that now
place the entire nation at greater risk than we have experienced since the
Civil War.
THAT is his point ! You don't understand these things.
"Indians" ? "VD" 500 years past? We must live, and hopefully
prosper, in THIS century, Timmy ! Your question indicates you may be
living in a history book of some sort. Don't worry about the damned
redskins; they have their tax-free, gambling, reservations, fishing/hunting
rights, minority rights, all those things and more; they're doing very well,
thank you !
