More on Bird Flu and the World

OK I admit it when I saw this from the BBC I started thinking about all the things that could kill us:

"Eighth bird flu outbreak in China

China has conducted mass culls of birds in a bid to stem the virus China has confirmed a fresh outbreak of the lethal H5N1 strain of bird flu - the country's eighth within a month."

When we were in the midst of our paranoia during the cold war, we heard the media talk about the "Yellow Peril" when referring to a projected invasion of Australia from the north. Once again we are being provided with more to worry about although this time the form of the 'Yellow Peril" is a little more deadly.

If the birds don't kill you then terrorists will. If it's not terrorists then it's riots by disaffected people. If they don't get you then a car accident will. And if you are still living then there are heaps of other diseases and potential accidents out there just waiting for YOU.

No wonder the religious freaks of the world are telling us that the end of days is nigh!

And what do we do?

We keep going to work, we keep slaving away and we keep getting anxiety attacks about whether or not we will be fired now that the new legislation on IR is being passed in our parliament.

What's it all for? Why are we 'saving for a rainy day'

Hellooo - The drought has broken - we are all DOOMED!

The world is going to the dogs in a hand basket!

I for one am going out for my walk in the sunshine and let someone else get stressed.

Salut!
