Title: bird flu, sars and space herpes

I dont know about you guys but I am tired of hearing about the bird flu. Its been blown way out of proportion in order to increase pharmaceutical sales. I keep hearing 10s of thousands of people can die from this flu hmmmm, kind of like the common flu. It was like that whole sars scare a couple of years back and the west nile encephalitis last year. Nothing like a little media manipulation and public frenzy to boost sales. God bless america.

I heard there is a newly discovered pandemic that hit about the year 2000, right around when bush got into office, its called stupid pox. I am running out to buy masking tape and plastic tarps. :angry:

I've been stocking up my bird flu supplies. 

I finished the last of my Y2K batteries 2 years ago.  It didn't hurt me to have the surplus.  It wont hurt me to have a few extra gallons of water and a cupboard full of can goods and Ramen noodles.  I'd rather laugh about having to many supplies 6 years from now than have to kill someone with the supplies next month because I wasn't ready.
