In this advanced age of hyper-cyber-communication the paranoia of a pandemic spreads faster than the actual virus. And this H1N1 shit moves pretty fast. This is a perfect storm for the forces of EEEEEEEEE-vil. The reactionary media network wants to use this instance to fingerprint people and collect DNA samples. The racism that is being fomented is even deadlier than the virus itself.
But who is to blame for this untreatable influenza strain? Is it the Mexicans? What about the Chinese? Or is it the big corporations that process meats and produce on such a large scale that when a source becomes tainted it has already been distributed to half the global population? The proper popular name for the H1N1 virus should prA’li be the ‘ConAgra Virus’ but their D.C. lobby is way too slick to let that go down.
I remember the dysintery I acquired during a vacation in Mexico was nothing to fuck with. It had me sweating profusely, curled up under my covers like a scared child. I had to go out to Long Island to stay at my parents house so they could take care of me. Moctezuma wasn’t no joke. He was pissed off at being double-crossed by CORTES and the conquistadors. Maybe the best name for the swine flu is simply karma?
From go, this felt like a strong opportunity for folks to lock down the parts of the border which could be without a lot of national resistance.
Still waiting for that to happen.
In the meantime between time, let’s see how many positive changes come out of this for us in regard. Better inspection standards, better standards for industrial food production, more people warshing they asses.
TRUTH
^ I’d be happy enough with people washing their hands.
