Okay, but remember...you asked for it ;-) I never make half cooked statements or assumptions, so lets 'point by point' em.

Do you still believe SARS is Race specific?

Yes, I do. More properly I believe SARS is allele specific and more precisely that factors such as the Diego blood group allele Dia, which is totally absent in people of non-asiatic origin are contributing to a risk of infection. Non-europeans also have a very low frequency of the ABO blood-group allele Ib. Yes, I am not hallucinating - orientals have genetic differences from caucasions and since science is not in the dark ages or in 'PC disconnect' it realizes that certain diseases find prevalence and incidence in certain gene types, and therefore certain races of man.

What about 'vorticies' or 'vorlons' or whatever those were?

VORTICES
Plural of Vortex

(Incidentally the word vortice originates from the Italian)

Yes, I still believe in those things too. ;-)

A cool link: Vortex flames and spirals everywhere

As to the rest, the 'musical' argument:
WHAT?! Man, you are nuts. Really just nuts. I mean, what can I even say to that? You really want to run that horse in this race?

If one's seen West Side Story a good number of times it has much more impact. If one hasn't seen it it just seems like a really bad poem or something. You're just a little young for the target audience of that rewrite.
