Camy's Thang!!!

Camy your UK government must have been talking to our Aussie government.Our Federal government's response to security provoked by the horrifying events of 9/11 was to announce that:

"[...] every Australian household will receive a letter from the Prime Minister, a booklet and a fridge magnet on how to help the Government combat terrorism." - The World Today article

The fridge magnet had a message: "Be alert, not alarmed."We are holding our breath to see what the swine flu fridge magnet will say, if they issue one, that is. On the otherhand, that might just be their tactic; get us to hold our breath, so that we will be unable to catch the flu. Brilliant, I feel so safe now.This reply has been condemned as flippant and sarcastic.

As we Americans have no idea what terms like stonking, bollocks or bin bags mean, while everyone else is off buying face masks and so intermingling with their contagious brethern, I'll be safe at home checking my English to American translating dictionary. So, to the rest of you Brits: BEWARE! <GRIN>C

I'm not really that worried about swine flu. It has already entered the Philippines but the affected people were quarantined quickly enough.Remember, we've already been through the Avian Virus scare which resulted in the massive shortage of filter masks and everyone wearing them like crazed ninjas.

I find this so funny, a few weeks later, and no one gives a shite about Swine Flu, just another thing to keep the humans scared and keep their attention off things that truly matter like a declaining world economy. I wonder what the new scare will be next week.Jason
