I will make sure to read the previous stories, then. I agree that this may be a valid justification for some omitted facts.

lbrian, this story is among the dozen or so the Indy has published on the NBAF. At this point, there was some assumption that readers were somewhat familiar with the arguments.

First, I'd like to say that I consider myself to be independent, which is why I picked up this magazine. I'm registered independent and I never make a decision solely based around someone else's word.

Reading the DEIS risks - the risk of a release of deadly pathogens is described as "probable" - and lack of mitigation -- there is no evidence they know how to prevent Deer and Mosquito's spreading the disease indefinitely, one has to wonder why they would build NBAF anywhere but on a remote island ... and it is because they decided up front that it had to be near people: researchers. Is it really worth risking embedding these diseases in the US wildlife population - making us permanently susceptible to them, doing to ourselves exactly what we believe we are protecting ourselves from, just to shorten a few peoples' commute to work?

I swear! We residents and opponents of the NBAF must be the most ignorant researchers, lawyers, professionals, career military and backwards persons in the state of NC.

You know I couldn't help but see JohnD is from Raleigh. I'm sure you don't worry about any aspect of the NBAF since you are in Raleigh.

Well just so you know a bunch of us DO want you here.
