Consider this: More Americans died during the Spanish flu pandemic than were killed in battle during all of America's wars -- from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War, both World Wars and the current conflict in Iraq.

((shudder)) And all in the space of a few months. Really puts things in perspective. I wonder why it just petered out almost as quickly as it started, too.
