| I agree with Indy farmer. What over 90% of people don't take into account is that the important part of this argument right now isn't about Ebola. Its about the precedent that this case sets. Once it is established practice for the government to be able to quarantine people when ever someone is deemed sick it will eventually be abused. One person in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter a whole lot. But establish that anyone can be quarantined at anytime will set up in everyone's minds that this is OK and eventually it will be abused maybe not in are lifetime but eventually.
Rights are all or nothing freedom is all or nothing. If you want to play the halfway game eventually you will have no rights that's just how it has always works and always will. We are choosing right now for future generations.
Ebola is a good example of how policy by press release works. So called media watch dogs whip everyone into a frenzy and the public demands action be taken against there own self interest.
