Sorry Mike, but that's one of the biggest pieces of shit I've read in
this group in some time.  It also betrays a dangerous arrogance about
the relationship between "man" and "nature".  Just why do you consider
man as being outside of (or is it above?) nature?

The diseases' environment has changed.  The organisms better adapted to
the new environment have survived.  The ones that are not suitable have
not.  That is natural selection.
