Ok, so now it's one typo for me (boarders/borders) and two for you (Angola/Africa and where/were).

Funerary rites vary somewhat from one group to another, but there are also general elements: ritual mourning, ceremonial washing of the body, and the embracing and kissing of the body by family members."

Sounds like Ireland.

I think motive is rather obvious. I would discard the idea of superstition and the like.

1) Liberia is poor, like really poor.
2) Drugs are expensive, like really expensive.
3) Drugs in a quarantine zone for a deadly epidemic are in high demand, very high demand.
4) Profit!

That would make sense if there were any drugs.

The treatment for Ebola is paracetemol (acetaminophen, aka Tylenol for Americans). Even in Liberia it's not that expensive.

I think education plays a big role. Look at [...] New Orleans after Katrina... lots of looting going on and look at the type of people that did the looting... uneducated people.

Nope, after Katrina the people who were "looting" were mostly getting necessary supplies after being abandoned.

Nothing to do with eduucation, everything to do with need.

Some parts of Nigeria.

Where the only infected people have been the heath care staff who tried to help a sick US citizen.

What is the relevance to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea?

Oh, you thought all black people were the same.

Boy, am I going to be able to fill up my foes list with ignorant racists (tautology) on this one.
