Interesting and frustrating information in that link, Steve. As an old quote goes, those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Sadly, many if not most American’s don’t have a healthy knowledge of history and lack a healthy sense of skepticism of our government. and elected officials.

Its not that I believe that most elected officials openly and consciously act with ill intent and ulterior motives, but there are undoubtedly those that do, and if the public is not alert to this, we can become unwitting victims.

While I believe that this situation has the potentially to be very serious, we just don’t know yet and we must be careful not to get so caught up in fear that we swallow whatever measures and solutions are offered up.

You’re so right Braveheart. I was thinking they must have killed that little boy to push through their agenda.

This whole thing is nothing more than Obama administration induced panic in order to move their liberal agenda forward while the public is preoccupied.

” does not affect our schools”. The full text of the phone message is on the home page at hcps.org.

Steve, I agree. “H1N1″ seems like a “slow news month” story, but we’re in the peak of news now. We need to be prepaid to stop a major epidemic, but this doesn’t produce symptoms particularly worse than the common flu. I don’t understand the national worry.

36k die from the flu each year and we never close schools. 1 kid crosses the border for treatment and dies, and the country goes “swine flu”-crazy.

The insurance and big pharm industries are sure enjoying this…
