Time for Superzero to don his cape and fly into action as the concerned leader.

This must be like a template news story on file.

All they have to do is change the name of the flu and the location, and voila, it’s the new kill-everyone flu.

Avian flu. Swine flu. Skunk flu.

If we’re a secular culture with no heaven or hell, why worry about it? Unless you’re really harboring a concern that there is a hell.

....and the only thing that will save us is higher taxes, bigger government, and fewer freedoms!

Am I right? am I right? What do I win?
