Who’s With Me?

Am I the only one who thinks that maybe we’ve gone too far in scaring Americans and that possibly, just possibly, the latest fiasco surrounding the flu shot vaccines may have taught us a lesson?  Could it be that (heaven help us) Americans may be starting to take responsibility for their own health?

Basically I believe what we hear on the news is nothing but a bunch of bullshit pushed on us by agenda mongers.  This flu vaccine nonsense may have been the turning point because most everything we’ve been told has been turned on its head this year.

Before the elections the Democrats were out trying to demonize the President for what happened with the flu vaccines.  There weren’t enough vaccines.  We should never have allowed “furrners” to make them.  Cries of hundreds of needless deaths echoed throughout the land.  Capitalisitc republicans and drug companies were money grubbing evil-doers who did not care for the health and well-being of poor and elderly Americans. Millions would go without their vaccines.  OH MY GOD! CALAMITY WILL BEFALL THE LAND!!!!

4 months later we now have vaccines going to waste as Americans realized that maybe just taking a few precautions they’d be able to weather this and do not need shots after all.  Precautions like washing their hands and faces more frequently or getting more fresh air in their homes instead of having a locked down house that allows the virus to survive longer inside could have made a difference.

Can it be?  Is it possible Americans will get a clue or is this just an aberration in that the flu strains this year were weaker?

Will we ever know?  I doubt it as I do not trust our media with these things anymore.  Who’s with me?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
