The Guardian ^

The swine flu pandemic could kill millions and cause anarchy in the world's poorest nations unless £900m can be raised from rich countries to pay for vaccines and antiviral medicines, says a UN report leaked to the Observer.

The disclosure will provoke concerns that health officials will not be able to stem the growth of the worldwide H1N1 pandemic in developing countries

I've seen this before! I just watched the movie "V for Vengence". It wasn't swine flu but other crisis created by the government.

Funny how art sometimes predicts reality.

But think of the potential for shrinking humanity’s carbon footprint [and the money we’ll save] if we don’t pony up.
Oh, the Liberals’ Hobson’s choice [the same Libs who let millions of Africans die from malaria by not allowing the judicious use of DDT]. What a crock!

Can't blame them for trying.

We were stupid enough to elect a foreign national that has already stolen several trillion, so why not?

INDONESIAN GO HOME!

The LEFTISTS never rest.

They make statements BEFORE so that when something happens, they can say, “See, we told you so.”

IF millions die of the swine flu, now, later they can blame that on greedy capitalists and demand that a global ministry manage funds and currency and resources to “prevent this sort of thing ever happening again.”

Oddly enough, this is exactly what Obammie the Commie is doing with health care and cap and trade. He’s claiming we need these policies enacted TO SAVE THE ECONOMY.

But anyone who studies economics even minimally already knows the GLOBAL ECONOMY IS ABOUT TO FALL OFF THE CLIFF.

But in a year, WTSHTF, Obammie the Commie will be able to say, “See, this is because you didn’t pass health care and/or cap and trade, or because the government didn’t spend ENOUGH.”

thin things out....goood. natural checks a balances...

we in the west. developed food production that has caused massive overpopulation to third world countries.....the more food that is grown, the more they procreate.

not a proponent of ‘Zero Population Growth’ or ‘Planned Parenthood’....but like rats in a sealed container, if you cram too many people into an area and continue to feed them all they want...they will breed to the well beyond the point of overcrowding to where all the undisireable human traits become glaringly apparent.

It ain’t a problem unless the free world has to give millions or billions to those who are to lazy to do anything for themselves.

not just that we developed it,but we give it away to places unable to feed themselves resulting in further overpopulated areas. our charity causes starvation.
