Damn straight (oh god, I used the word!) there Ms. Morli. I can almost sense that you have seen the Micheal Moore film BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. There was a triumphant scene where he interviews Marilyn Manson and Manson goes into a tear about how it's all about fear and consumption. It was one of the most gripping parts of the documentary.
If any of you have not seen this eye opening film, I urge you to do so. It is available at almost any Video Rental Outlet such as Blockbuster, or Hollywood Video and the price has come down on it as of late. I absolutely LOVED the film myself, and own a copy. I personally feel that the so called "Flu Epidemic Scare" we had this year was a bunch of bullshit aimed to create fear and panic, and to bolster the coffers of the American Pharmaceutical Conglomerates. I can recall that in 1989, 53 folks died of influenza complications and there was hardly a stir, whereas this year, only 47 people died of this so called "Killer Flu." The only difference in my humble opinion was the widespread media coverage that created a sense of panic that resulted in "shortages" of the flu vacciene much like the "shortages" of gasoline in 1978 and '79 that led to gasoline permanently rising above a dollar a gallon. God Bless George Bush, Hallejullia, pass me some more BBQ pork!!!
