I wanted to pass on this video that somebody else shared with me. If ChantCD or somebody else wants to embed it into the post or teach me how, that'd be great. Couldn't figure it out... -_-

Enjoy,

I made it trough about 2/3 :scared2:... then I told Matthew to finish it and let me know what happens. :faint:

That stuff will be stuck in my head for days.

Hopefully you enjoyed what you saw of it...

Personally, it made me think, "Whether or not anything like this is (regarding bird flu) is happening, do I have anything substantial ready?"

Think about it...

EDIT

Matthew should feel free to comment! ~.^

It did make me want to add a few things to my "preps", as they are called... :scratchchin:

The funny thing is, people are more likely to die of regular influenza then they are the "Avian flu"...but the latter is much more feared today.

I only feel prepared, though, when I count "psychological preparedness" and/or when I compare myself to those around me...which really doesn't count for much, and I know that.

Fact is, I'm stuck in a city environment (small town) right now. I don't know if I'd be able to afford to move onto some land -- it seems that land in a good area (close to civilization) is expensive. I could move WAY out where land is cheap, but then I'd have no Internet access (and no work).

They'd still charge you property tax too wouldn't they?

I got sick of that kid and stopped watchin'. Too annoying.

But I get the message.

The problem is bird flu is just another media panic attack. FEMA wouldn't help anyone, they'd probably just take everyone's guns away like they did in New Orleans.

I don't see how anyone with a family would want to stay in a populated area. There'd be looters everywhere. Theives, and eventually rapists.
