Toxic Spread
The virus spreads shockingly quick, infesting areas of the planet so suddenly that often times officials don't realize the level of infection until it's too late. Ruthlessly, it poisons the environment wherever it takes hold, choking off everything in its path and representing the truest threat to a society's health that humankind now faces.
Avian flu? Ebola? Marburg? No, none of the above. This spreading pandemic begins right here in the United States. The poisonous virus is the American-styled religious conservative movement, and it's begun infesting the rest of the world.
From Peru to the Philippines to Poland, U.S.-based conservative groups are increasingly engaged in abortion and family-planning debates overseas, emboldened by their ties with the Bush administration and eager to compete with more liberal rivals. The result is that U.S. advocacy groups are now waging their culture war skirmishes worldwide as they try to influence other countries’ laws and wrangle over how U.S. aid money should be spent.
Innoculation is available in the form of common sense, logic and human decency... however, once this virus takes hold it is virtually impossible to eradicate. Those in other nations had best take heed and warning, before it's too late.

Pretty sad when the number one U.S. export is ignorance.
