annual flu deaths are estimated to be between 1/4 and 1/2 a million people a year world wide. each and every year, hundreds of thousands of people are killed by the regular old flu or its complications and we are supposed to be scared into accepting tightened restrictions because the powers that be are labeling h1n1 as a super-bug. schools closed, businesses and government agencies threatened with the same, and none of it anything more than an illusion. i do hope it is nothing more than my paranoia or that government realizes that even the ignorant masses aren't quite that gullible, but i've learned to take nothing for granted. i am waiting patiently for some petty bureaucrat to come up with the idea of mandatory flu shots, but i doubt even the lemmings of the left would put up with such a blatant denial of individual liberty.
