    Re: Swine Flu

    This article summed up my feelings quite nicely:

    Personally, I think today's media culture has become one in which drama sells...and the more horror and fright they can inject into a story, no matter how ridiculous, they will do it....because it makes big bucks. (Just one of the many reasons why we have to constantly fight for our rights to keep our pets...the media loves to sensationalize every little incident as if it were gonna bring the world down around our ears. )
