Our "Beloved Tommy Thompson's" Final Words as Secretary of Health and Human Services------ And this week's "Snapshot" of What's Going on in the News

QUOTATION OF THE DAY

____________________________________________________________

"For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do."
TOMMY G. THOMPSON, the secretary of health and human services, announcing his resignation.

__________________________________________________________________



Ok....so the day that our former governor decides to abdicate his throne in Washington....he drops this "not so tiny" bombshell of information on us! In the same breath he went on to say how he feels that there is a very real "Major Flu PANDEMIC" on the horizon that could kill millions of people.

And then President Bush downplays the whole the food thing and....... just a few months ago, our wonderful president decided to stop shipment of a "vital vaccine" that could help all these millions of people avoid this nasty flu, which many people have said could be worse than the "Flu of 1918" which, while I wasn't yet born, heard and have read that it was one of the worst natural calamities to descend upon mankind since the "Black Death" in Europe in the Middle Ages.....

Something just doesn't play right here. Why do I feel like someone is trying to play "God" with the Human Race? Am I being paranoid?? There are just too many things happening without a good explanation.... and not enough clear answers to why these things are NOT being addressed. I am sure there are enough recourses to protect our "food supply" if we really want to...and I also sure that there is more than enough vaccine to prevent this "Flu Pandemic" if our government really wanted to. The people of cannoned have no problem getting all the vaccines they need and indeed have offered us (The U.SA.) enough of the vaccine to inoculate every citizen of our country. But our Government said no. And the reason they gave for not accepting all the vaccine that was available from the company that made it (in the U.K.) was "unclean and somewhat "circumspect" practices at the lab where the vaccine was created. What are we to believe??

Maybe we should all start growing our own food and stay away from each other. That way we will know for sure that we will be safe and secure. (Just kidding)....but someone has to start thinking and stopping these things from happening. We HAVE the recourses to do it! As my Boss at work says..."Just Do It!".....

And This Week's News Snapshots-Who says we live in a boring world???? I hope everyone has a good week (and a better one than some of these people in the news..):
