Renowned Ecologist proposes wiping out 90% of the human race and recieves a standing ovation

I'm not even joking. At the Texas Academy of Science a renowned ecologist proposed an airbone ebola virus as an efficient way of killing off 90% of the human race. He recieves a prolonged standing ovation, then more applause later at a reception where he recieved a plaque from the President of the Texas Academy of Science naming him the 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist.

It seems to me if a scientist, someone who studies the sciences for the benefit of man-kind, advocates killing off 90% of them... then he isn't as much of a scientist as a "holier-than-thou" smart-guy from hell. You should be ashamed..
