Swine Flu

I've heard of bird flu.  I've heard of swine flu.  I've definitely heard of human flu.  But bird flu, swine flu and human flu all wrapped up into one?  How did that happen?  Something fishy here?  It sounds more like a manmade laboratory recipe instead of nature's course.

Sure is a good thing that Novartis was awarded a $487 million dollar contract on January 19, 2009 (the day before Obama became President) to develop 150 million "cell-based pandemic influenza vaccines", just in time for the current "pandemic" that coincidentally occurred three months later.

Too bad that it began in Mexico, considering that some Americans already hate Mexico and Mexicans since this will all be blamed on them.

Good thing for Cheney though.  He warned us (just a couple weeks ago) that Obama couldn't keep the country safe.  Will he say, "I told you so" now?

Doesn't this all seem rather convenient in a sadistic, evil kind of way?  Could it be an act of terrorism or just something to help boost the economy)?

I won't blame this on Obama (although I have plenty of bones to pick with him), but I strongly suspect that there is a whole mountain of information that we are not being given about this situation.  I also believe that our dear VP gave us a very good piece of advice.  I am not sure about the information that we are not being told, but I strongly suspect that things are far more serious than we know.

You want to know what's even funnier than that?  I've had the absolute honor of talking to some people on this board about religion/faith.  What we have had is a conversation where we are not arguing like cats and dogs, but rather trying to understand one another.  They probably disagree with about 99.9% of my beliefs and vice versa, and yet we are still able to communicate in an intellectual manner.  The impression I get from them is that they are secure in their faith, so much so that they are willing to discuss it like rational human beings.  As a result of this conversation I have decided to once again study religion, not just christianity, but others as well in an attempt to come up with some kind of logical answer. 

Yesterday I went to go get some books.  So far I've gotten a Bible, the Qua'ran, suggested reading from a mormon who worked at the store, and I have another book to find today....(christian book stores aren't open on Sundays).

When I got home yesterday I was thumbing through these books.  At random, the first thing I read in the Qua'ran was a line that I interpreted as -- If others don't want to believe in Allah, they will never believe in Allah, and basically one should just leave them alone.  That may well be the most sensible approach from any religion I've ever heard!  You know what?  In retrospect I can't think of the first post by someone on this board who claims to be Muslim who has interjected his/her religious beliefs into politics.  --- Maybe some of the christians on this board should go to the book store.  You never know, you might actually learn something.
