Reply #17: while I'm not going to rush out and buy tamiflu to stick in my family's ass

I think that people need to stop going into auto-panic over this. Yeah, it's a concern, but the MSM is going to ratchet this up to levels that will make dog's ears bleed-- and I seriously doubt it will be done for *concern* over their viewers. It will be done to scare people into watching.

Personally, I'm sick of *chicken little* news stories and posts. I'm worn out after eight years of fascists on the hoof in Washington. I'm sick of watching media that slobbers with glee over each and every story they can boost to apocalyptic levels.

If that makes me a mocker -- oh well. Doesn't mean I'm not going to be looking out for my family and friends. There's a big difference between paying attention and obsessing. Some people live to be scared shitless. I'm not one of them. Guess it sucks to be me - by their standards. :shrug:
