Sick pigs

The way I see it, if people spent about half the time they spend complaining/blaming someone else for the swine flu problem to actually work on a cure for the swine flu problem (and by this, I don't mean wearing a silly mask everywhere), we might be a little better off. Seriously, do we really need immigrants to be blamed for it? Or those dumb masks? Maybe working on a cure might do some more good than simply sitting around and whining.

My friend Sesali brought up a good point about it today: "A hundred people get the swine flu, and everyone's wearing masks. Thousands of people get HIV/AIDS, and no one's wearing condoms!" You figure it out. Guess the world needs a new panic, but it doesn't faze me. More people die of the regular flu each year than the swine flu anyway, and the ways of protecting yourself from both are pretty commonsense (washing your hands, not sharing a beverage, etc). We don't need panic, we need logic. And a cure.
