The Honeymooners

I can't BELIEVE Speaker is going to get away with it! He KNEW he had a TB problem and he still exposed dozens of people to this rare form of TB. Even if we assume he's right - that the medical community didn't think it'd be much of a problem for him to travel in the beginning (key words: in the beginning), eventually he DID know the whole story, and he STILL decided going on his honeymoon was more important.

The CDC even called him while he was in Rome, for crying out loud, and told him to go to an isolation unit there. Of course, he refused. Probably because he wanted one more night of intense intimacy with his new bride before he "turned himself in." That, or he is so coldly ethnocentric that he believes the only "quality" health care is "Amurkin." (Forget the fact that we "Amurkins" can't even decide on how to deal with what should be a basic human right: health care.) Report to an isolation unit in Rome? No way, dude!

Instead, lets put more airline passengers at risk before finally arriving in Canada where he smuggled himself in. Either the border guard who processed him is idiotic, or he was bribed. Hmmm.

Canada to New York. New York to Atlanta. Atlanta to Denver. My home town. Only I don't want him here. Yes, I know we have the National Jewish here and it's THEEE leading hospital when it comes to respiratory care. But why should I care about him when it is so blatantly obvious he wouldn't have cared about me had we been on the same flight?

Speaker is from a rich family. He was born with all the advantages wealth and status can give you. He is used to getting his way. In other words, Speaker is a spoiled little boy who cannot possibly comprehend the consequences of his thoughtless actions.

Or can he? Do you think he's claiming all this guilt, and doing this "I just want forgiveness" act because it suddenly hit him that what he did was wrong? He is a lawyer, after all. If one person one any of those flights comes forward with this extreme and rare form of TB...

Can we say "attempted manslaughter?"

Nah! He's gonna get away with it and THAT ticks me off!
