Reality check
=================================

The sheer stupidity of this is mind boggling.
Consider that there were 3,109 automobile
fatalities PER MONTH last year in the U.S.
and ZERO deaths from swine flu and you have
to wonder what kind of idiots are serving in
government at the city, state, and national level.
You’d be a lot safer avoiding your car than
avoiding contact with other people.

Here’s the real problem. Big government believes
that it’s job is to save everyone from everything.
And at the slightest hint of anything that COULD
be dangerous, they roll into full blown action,
scaring the crap out of folks who rely on the
government to tell them what to do instead of
thinking for themselves.

This is the same pattern the current administration
employs to convince people to give up and
suck on the government tit instead of working
hard and taking responsibility for making their
own lives better.

The weak and lazy fall for it – in fact, welcome
it – and the poor working slob gets taxed to
the gills to pay for all of this.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not in favor of
letting those who are truly in need suffer. But
for the government to save us from smoking…
save us from over-eating… save us from the
stupid choice we made to max out our credit
cards or buy a house we couldn’t afford…
save us from swine flu… and save us from
any form of discomfort whatsoever, creates
a nation of sheep.

Your choice is to be part of the herd or to
break away and live your own life. Don’t fall
for stupid scare tactics about every little thing
that comes along. Create your own business
and live your life on your own terms.

I’d much rather take my shot and miss the
goal than live a life of mind-numbing, government
lead complacency. Hopefully, you feel the same.

One more culprit
=================================

Oh, and let’s not forget about the press and their
role in all of this. What sells papers and gets people
to tune into the news? Scary stories – the scarier
the better.

If the press really wanted to provide a service
to its audience, they’d do interviews with people
who have had the swine flu and are already over
it. Then the truth would come out that it’s just
like any other flu – a few days of feeling rotten
and then it’s gone.

But the press would rather sell more advertising
by attracting more eyes and ears, so they’ll ramp
up the fear to put more profit in their pockets.

Don’t fall for it. Simply think things through for
yourself and you’ll be miles ahead of the poor
fools who fall for this drivel.
