#1 I expect it IS possible to INfect people with Polio TOO, isn't it?

Just as a benefit for Islam why not arrange a covert effort to infect thousands of people in Baluchistan with Polio. It would be for their own good. Paralysis would only enhance their lives and make them more "colorful." And they are so devoid of intelligence I can't imagine they would notice they were cripples. Like my father used to say about fish, " They are too stupid to feel any pain."
Have you ever seen the people of Balochistan.? I have only seen the folks in Gwadur, myself. They could be human but I had my doubts. They don't wear shoes and their feet look more like hooves than feet. Its HOT and they don't wear shoes. The whole place smells like rotting fish. There are lots of dead sharks which I think they salvage for oil or "something". The children play with the swollen rotting shark carcasses and poke sticks in their anus to let out the gasses. None of the children have childhood toys
Flys crawl across the faces of the men who stare blankly in the unmoving heat. The women are like buffaloes and go around in smelly black bags , one is reminded of huge black bugs. The men are all armed with what looked like ancient Martini rifles.
Balouchis are great garrison troops if you can ever get them not to shit on the barracks stairs. If you shoot one all his friends laugh . A very strange people.

All we had were sticks, green apples and the occasional discarded cardboard box. We would have killed for a rotting shark carcass.

We had shark carcasses. But you had to test into AP Biology to get one, so it was a premium commodity. Still, the dogfish shark head in the high school drinking fountain was a perennial favourite.

You're lucky you had those. We had to scrounge for sticks and green apples went to feed the poorer kids in China (they sold 'em to Pakistan.)

As for cardboard boxes, Mom kept telling us to "get out of the house and get some fresh air."
