    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I want to make one thing perfectly clear, I've personally been there and done that. I am on the border and have faced off with alot of this....short of the machine gun fire by drug lords. I personally know illegals who are great people who are hard workers and I have met scumbags who deserve no less than to be crab bait in traps in the Gulf of Mexico (drug gangs anyone??). Ive gone across the Rio Grande in ankle deep water in Big Bend to eat tacos and drink Cervezas at Boquillas (Flathead, you still got that wooden fetish I sent you?) . I've hunted doves at Cotulla when illegals were flooding in the fields looking for water. I've been in Nueva Laredo when it flooded the first time in 100 years and people were going nuts. What does this mean? Nothing. Other than I've been there face to face so when I speak its not from Canadia, Europa, Asiananica or the like. And yes, I've fed and watered most of them but that doesn't mean I can't support a goddamn big fence.

    This issue will go nowhere, it's post-budget distraction.

    Sars, bird flur, CJD, all the same. Its bullshit.
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    The MSM (main stream media) love a story like this, because they can absolutely rinse all their airtime on it while not telling us anything new, but they can show us endless pictures and video to inspire fear in the population at large.

    Guaranteed we see something about this swine flu thing on the last episode of Newswipe on Wednesday.

    Possibly, but a 6% death rate - if the figures from Mexico are correct, is not something to be sneazed at! (excuse the pun!)

    Notice how there aren't any cases in Russia?

    That's NOT a coincidence, my dear comrades...

    I'll give £100 to every active forum member if we're still hearing about this thing in two months...

    Yo yO, I had a look around, and this isn't the first time that *Piggy Flu* has popped up. In 1976 500 soldiers were diagnosed with it in Jersey, apparently there was some sort of inoculation program but it was scrapped once they found out the Vaccine was supposedly deadly..... bugger

    I am glad I am not the only one from Texas who has dealt w/ immigrants from south of the border. He speaks the truth, btw. They are a diffrent type of peope to deal with, probably unlike anything Europeans are used to. Or Canadians.

    I cant imagine it causing a huge amount of deaths over here if we get it on a large scale, but imagine the impact of it during this recession if it rips its way through offices & factories & half the workforce are off sick,scary!
