[Lnc-business] Quarantine

Considering that the United States  Centers for Disease Control  doesn't
know what the hell they are doing:

I don't think the National Libertarian Party should take any position on how
to deal with Ebola until the mode of transmission and the incubation period
are, as best as possible, definitively decided by medical scientists.

 

I especially do not want the National Party to straightjacket our candidates
into a single position on an issue on which there is nowhere near a
consensus within the libertarian movement.

"Philosopher and historian William Durant once said "Nothing is often a

good thing to do, and always a clever thing to say."

When there is something on the horizon, many people very early cry "We

have to do something!"  as if doing something that makes the situation

worse is preferable to waiting for more information to make a wise

decision.

Rahm Emanuel said "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And

what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you'd think you

could not do before."

I suppose I would like a statement like:

"We do not have enough information yet to determine the best policy

decisions.  Everything we know so far is that although there is a

great deal of fear, the actual risk is vanishingly small.  The

important thing to do in this situation is to take reasonable

precautions while gathering information, and resist efforts of those

who would use a crisis to take advantage of the fear to grab power and

infringe on our freedoms in ways they could not do before."
