Agree that "homeland" sounds too much like "fatherland". I don't
think government workers buy into it (unless they come from Rush
Limbaugh country). It's the "wingers" on the Right who perpetrate
stupid sh*t like that.

The latest is some general (probably retired) who says Ebola could
mutate and become an airborne virus. He has no medical background,
he's just another crackpot. Not saying that they could find somebody
with a degree in science to say that... look at the "scientists" who
agree that the earth is only 6000 years old and humans walked with
dinosaurs.
