"The Day After, Part Deux."
I've read a number of reviews of the movie, some good, some bad.
Thanks for the ping to the thread, but this is apparently too volatile a subject for some, and I have no desire to be drawn into a conversation with such posters.
There is supposed to be a question and answer, or something like that, on after the film, on Nightline.
I don't have a lot of respect for MSM, but it would be interesting to see how factual the film is, vs how sensational.
Avian flu is probably not the one to bring us down.
But with bio-technology spreading so rapidly today, it is only a matter of time before an engineered virus is deliberately or accidently released and then movie fiction becomes fact.
In my mind, this is the most important reason why it is time to kick out the dictators and for democracy to be "installed" in every country.
Well....at this point....I'm just observing and thinking....not buying into panic....but not buying into absolute safety (from H to H spread) either.....and yes, I know what you mean about the "volatile" subject matter....
Hope all is well with you.
There have been no cases of Manbearpig attacks in Central Park but ALGORE and his little green minions will continue to patrol and monitor the situation.
I remember when SARS was supposed to kill us all a couple of years ago. This whole thing is a total joke.
Turn left.
Don't crash.
Unless there was a ballgame or somesuch thing, I can't remember the last time I tuned into anything on ABC, but I do plan on taking a look at this tonight........particularly because of much of it taking place in Virginia, which is where I live.
I also in live in a part of Virginia that is heavily dependent upon the poultry industry. Just yesterday 170,000 chickens where taken for processing from the 5 chicken houses across the road from me.
I'm not buying into the panic, either, but that does not mean I am not paying attention. Even a mild outbreak of Avian Influenza that only hits the birds will have a devastating impact on the economy of this area - that is my main reason for paying attention.
More people have been killed by Teddy Kennedy in an Oldsmobile than this ...
"You're comin' down with somethin'..."
I thought this was a commercial for "The Stand part 2"
It could happen this year or six years from now or sixty years from now, but in the very long run, it's not a joke.
This movie might be a joke, but flu pandemics are not.
What? You didn't think Sunday was a lot of fun?
This guy is going to puke blood! Kewl!
Ahhh...we've got the "experts" again talking about something that hasn't even happened yet. (I bet they all read "The Stand" by King and base all their "excellence" on the movie version...).
Besides, I can't worry about some bird flu that will sweep the world with decimation and death....I'm too freaking worried about "Global Warming"!!!!!!
Crock after crock after crock.......Just another ploy for world government to protect us from a false and "scary" bunch of BS, put forward for the "scare tactic" for the uneducated (read: Pubic skool poor chillun') that have attended Pubic skools in the last 30-40 years.
Oh yeah, we're all gonna die from AIDS too!
Feh!
