"Cover your mouth, wash your hands, and if you feel sick- stay home."  These revelations come from our great leader Obama.  This is what we pay them for, and boy aren't you glad?  The toll of the Flying Pig flu:  1 Death? in the US, 100-something cases.  We also experienced school closings, emergency hotlines, warnings, alerts, general panic and anxiety over a 'pandemic'.  BTW the yearly influenza claims 36,000 lives in this country alone.  Its unfortunate that the government gets involved in such serious affairs and politicizes them.  They see an epidemic as a chance to score political points.  For example, the Obama can now say we did everything we could to save you all by dropping a billion here and a billion there.  And the Center for Disease Control and other organizations get to validate their existence. 

In fact the best information came from a camups-wide email. It provided all the necessary information on the flu and how to minimize risk, as well as links to get other information on your own.  This is how such problems should and can be handled-Locally.  The news media is into hype and scare tactics to frighten people into watching their TV shows.  How did we ever survive without cable news networks?  We did.

Here's a quick stat:

 Soldiers killed in Iraq 2008: 314

 Murders in Chicago 2008:  509

I want to switch gears a little now, and discuss an upcoming bill in Congress known as HR1207.  The purpose of the bill is to bring transparency to the Federal Reserve system (who control the Big Money).  It calls for an audit of the Fed and its activities.  The bill has gained momentum and has 124 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives.  Of those, 110 are Republicans, and only 14 are Democrats.  I guess the "party of change" doesn't want to change the way the highly secretive and illegal Federal Reserve operates.  Let the good times roll...
