Headline on CNN.com "Obama declares H1N1 emergency." Whoopee-doo! According to the article about about 1000 persons have died from the H1N1 virus yet if you look up, here, how many deaths are caused by the regular annual flu in the United States it is estimated at 36,000. Where was the declared emergency for that this year. Or last year? Why only declare an emergency for H1N1?
Because it's sexy and it upsets the public more than worse news about a regular flu would and it makes things easier to usurp more power (for the Federal government, that is) because now we are in an emergency which is bound to scare even more crap out of an already crapped out scared bunch of dependent on the government for everything people. Whew! That was a lot.
When Obama was elected I told a couple of folks I work with, Democrats of course, that he was going to be dangerous to the liberties we all enjoy. Neither of them believed me. But lately neither of them have said a word about the great job Obama is doing being our President. Hmmm....
