Why is it the left worships Darwinism until reality rears its ugly head and then they demand Capitalism and Judaeo-Christian values step forward to save millions?

The worshippers of Darwinism say only the fittest, i.e. those with the vaccine, should survive. So which side has, which side developed, the vaccine? Could it be the Capitalists of the US? Those rich, evil, Capitalists who should be destroyed?

OK - Let’s all go John Galt and let them destroy the Capitalist system. What in the hell are they going to do the next time a pandemic or similar crisis arises?

The observation has been made - “The longer the drink order, the bigger the a-hole”.

On the very rare occasions I go to Starbucks, my order is “Small standard coffee, room for cream”.

Well under six seconds.

While I do not discount the horrors of 1917, my little boy had the swine flu and it was 3 nights that were not so fun, and then he was better. No Tamiflu or anything. It was just a flu. I know other families that have had it too, and it hasn’t been a big deal for any of them. I know there are bad cases. But most will not have that.

There is some hope Obama & Soro’s U.N. utopian dream may collapse.It is a bad joke and nightmare all rolled-up in one, just like the TOTUS is.

I noticed the gun was pointed to the white half.

I was having fun... that’s all.

The entire southern hemisphere is just emerging from winter, how many cases of widespread H1N1 were reported there?

Your little friends in the Southern Hemisphere have little Temperate Zone real estate to occupy, so you're asking about a couple of Australian cities, maybe a couple in South America ~ and it's entirely possible you could ferret the information out on the Internet.

For the most part folks in the Southern Hemisphere live out of doors most of their "winter" ~ kind of like folks in Florida.

Under those conditions the transmissibility of flu virus is severely limited.

Good grief. What a lowdown, unethical tactic to squeeze money out of *rich* nations.

Blackmailing them and hanging over their heads the threat of blaming them with anarchy if they don’t fork over $$$$.

Like the money would even get to where it’s needed with the corrupt demigogues who are ruling most of these third world hell holes.

They need to talk to China and the Saudi’s for a change. I’m sure they can help.

They didn’t have the facilities, hygiene or medicine then that we have now, either. You can’t really compare 1917 to now. The flu in 1976 killed fewer people than the shot did.
