This is a fun time to live. We have fanatical religious folks repressing, suppressing and opressing people they disagree with. It kinda reminds me of the Middle Ages. Funny thing about that is that we’re about to have a plague on our hands as well. Fun times.
Apparently the next great Pandemic is upon us. The Asian Bird Flu has been about 72% fatal in diagnosed cases where it jumped species from fowl to humans. All it will take is for a mutation (1) that allows it to cross between two humans and then: Massive Die-Off. Fun stuff.
