So is this a real pandemic or is this hype slanted to restore citizens' faith in government after all the damage Bush did? We have drug lords in Mexico taking out entire square miles, then this Swine Flu breaks there. And now, it's in Canada too so we're surrounded. It's all just kind of convenient and I really don't trust the government to do any form of the right thing, so I have my reservations.
Anyone else have an opinion?
I am totally disgusted with our present government. democrat/republican its all the same. The MSM will gladly sling this slop as it gives them something to "report" on. Its a joke.
There is no real leadership, its all just pretend. All the while our "elected" officials line their pockets with tax payer dollars and take care of their cronies and corporate friends.
Its all good though, we get to pay for it. All of it. People have the gall to talk about fellow citizens and their sense of entitlement and they would be correct. But nothing compares to the sense of entitlement that the federal government has. Its all tax, tax and more tax. We get to feed this insatiable pit of waste with no accountability.
fat salaries, and fat pensions, and a nice fat medical plan and other perks too numerous to mention. and we get to pay for it.
It makes me laugh when I see these supposedly 'honourable and distinguished gentlepersons' speak. A bunch of back-stabbing, lying sacks of **** that sell out the citizens of this nation on a daily basis.
bitter and pissed off? I am.
sorry for the rant, I am just tired of the bull****. It's not even like they try to hide it anymore.
I should probably make the effort to answer your question.
I don't know if its a pandemic, but I suspect we will all know soon enough : ) hack, cough, hack, cough.
I don't trust the media as they will pump it up to no end in order to increase viewership which in turn allows them to sell advertising at a higher rate. So really, MSM is not so much journalism/reporting as it is
sensationalism and yellow journalism. I think stations like FOX fit this bill nicely. And I don't even watch TV : )
If the swine flu truly goes pandemic and bodies start filling the morgue I don't see what the government will do anyways. Quarrantine? Put people into camps, execute them?
I get the sense that society in general is somewhat fragile. There are so many stressors acting upon it at this time that peoples nerves are becoming quite frayed. Between the economy tanking, billions upon billions of dollars going to big business (but lets not call this socialism, more like fascism but what do I know ) two land wars, and one of this countries main industries on the verge of going bye-bye.....yeah baby, lets throw in a pandemic and watch the masses freak out.
I get the sense that whoever it is that truly controls the lever's in our society want to keep the populace in a state of panic and fear. And if this is true, they are doing a fine job of it.
What better way to exert control ? Keep the populace off-center and confused and fearful. Keep them distracted.
I suppose this sounds like crazy talk, all black helicopters and tin foil hats but its the impressions that I get. Sadly, I don't trust anything that I read in the MSM. I am always trying to look at the angles as ultimately I think I am being played for a sucker.
