Let's Do This: Swine Flu.
All around me people are putting their surgical masks on. Trick-or-treaters incorporated it into their costume designs. Swine flu is upon us, and will we ever be saved? The answer is a resounding, “Yes.” Society needs an illness, something to track, something to raise panic about. Swine flu is it’s new weapon, the new magnet bringing asses to the seats in front of the television. The cycle of these impotent diseases is astounding, whether it’s monkey-pox, or avian flu, the news always has a hot button disease to hurl at its audience. How will YOU survive? As the son of a nurse, and a person with (I’d like to think) a good amount of common sense, I say just keep on living. Drink some juice, take a multi-vitamin or something. Don’t let them cloister you into a terrified bubble of scared sterility, just because the big bad wolf, or swine, is out there somewhere. As for the media, they will continue to call wolf, creating skeptics like myself. Until one day, they will call, and no one will care to respond.
Ever-ready with my juice and Flintstones Vitamins,
