Whats the deal with this swine flu? Is it a dangerous threat worthy of constant media attention, or is it a minor event used to scare the public into bigger government? The swine flu scare gripped America in 1976 and many people were vaccinated to fight it. Only one person died from the swine flu while 25 died from the vaccinations. I believe that this media hype is being used to scare the public into vaccinations and expand government power, particularly in the Department of Homeland Security. Please watch this video and research the facts without being suckered by the mainstream media hype.

The world is going crazy over this -

From Egypt's order that all 300,000 pigs in the country be slaughtered to travel bans and putting the kibosh on kissing, the world is taking drastic — and some say debatable — measures to combat swine flu.


Quote:
Britain, with only five cases, is trying to buy 32 million masks. And in the United States, President Barack Obama said more of the country's 132,000 schools may have to be shuttered.


I'm not really worried about it at this point. As sad as it is that anybody would die, I think just taking normal precautions like closing a school where the flu might be going around would be plenty.

So far one child has died in America, and as sad as that is how many kids died yesterday of falling into a bucket of water, and yet we don't see the news scaring us to death over unwatched buckets of water.


I was listening to one of those crazy morning radio shows this morning, and they had this crazy song sung to the tune of Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting Instead it was Everybody has gone Swine Flu Crazy I couldn't help but crack up.  Ask anybody I worry about anything, and just about anything scares me, but this is way too soon to be panicking. Panic only makes things worse. So I do have to ask why is everybody fueling the fire. Does the government want more power? I know the news just wants more ratings.

Main thing is I got enough to worry about so everybody out there in the world, just chill.

Government is like a forest fire, always looking for more fuel, expanding wherever it can, regardless of the cost.
