got myself the antidote. now figuring where to hide it.

|For some reason, it just keeps getting worse. I'll give you an example of that. There's a condition in combat. Most people know about it. It's when a fighting person's nervous system has been stressed to it's absolute peak and maximum. Can't take anymore input. The nervous system has either snapped or is about to snap.

In the first world war, that condition was called Shell Shock. Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables, Shell Shock. Almost sounds like the guns themselves. That was seventy years ago.

Then a whole generation went by and the second world war came along and very same combat condition was called Battle Fatigue. Four syllables now. Takes a little longer to say. Doesn't seem to hurt as much. Fatigue is a nicer word than shock. Shell Shock! Battle Fatigue.

Then we had the war in Korea, 1950. Madison avenue was riding high by that time, and the very same combat condition was called Operational Exhaustion. Hey, were up to eight syllables now! And the humanity has been squeezed completely out of the phrase. It's totally sterile now. Operational exhaustion. Sounds like something that might happen to your car.

Then of course, came the war in Viet Nam, which has only been over for about sixteen or seventeen years, and thanks to the lies and deceits surrounding that war, I guess it's no surprise that the very same condition was called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Still eight syllables, but we've added a hyphen! And the pain is completely buried under jargon. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I'll bet you if we'd of still been calling it Shell Shock, some of those Viet Nam veterans might have gotten the attention they needed at the time. I'll betcha. I'll betcha."

The pigs were exposed to the virus by a worker who had flu symptoms after returning from Mexico on April 12. Two weeks later, the pigs also started to show symptoms, including sneezing, coughing and fatigue.

I think this is worse than the Avian Flu in that people are freaking the fuck out over NOTHING, and are wanting to believe there is some extremely dangerous disease they could catch any minute and die. Almost like they are WANTING something like that to happen.

The common flu hospitalizes approx. 200,000 people a year in the United States, and kills 36,000 . That means that approx. 550 people were hospitalized today with the common flu, and that approx. 99 people were killed by the common flu in the past 24 hours. 13,000 have died from the common flu in the first 4 months of this year already.

In a single day, the common flu will do more harm than the Swine Flu will for however long it's still going on in the States.
