Comments on: Huckabee’s “Isolation” vs. Quarantine: What’s The Difference? http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/12/09/1127 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Wed, 22 May 2013 16:42:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Jennifer http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/12/09/1127/comment-page-1#comment-60486 Jennifer Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:43:00 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/12/09/1127#comment-60486 I think what Mr. Huckabee said was brillant. Quarantine is forcing someone to a location and making them stay there. You can isolate hiv/aids pts. without actually forcing them to a central location. For example. if you tatooed a large A on the forehead of every infected person you would isolate them from society but not quarantine them. If the CDC kept a searchable database of every aids pt open to the public it would isolate them but not quarantine. If you made HIV/ AIDS testing mandatory in this country for all who live here and all who enter and isolate the carriers so that the general publis is well aware of them and they can in no way ad thier affliction the HIV/AIDS virus would die and no longer be a problem.

"God, I say some stupid things. But you know, we did do things differently during a crisis than we had in the past. and I know some people who died of AIDS, so I'm not a bad guy. You know who the bad guys are, the people who are fact-checking my past, looking for every stupid comment I made, every fowl-up, every ignorant suggestion about something I haven't researched well enough to state a public opinion on. Those people are the bad guys, because really, who has time to look up all the dumb things someone says? Bad guys do, that's who." translation….

That's so many you'd have to set up some sort of camp, wouldn't you? In WWII we only "isolated" 110,000 Japanese and that took several camps. And what a high point of our history, that was!
