The trick is, every time the media seems to be in a frenzy about some 'Major' risk to health/security/etc... that's the time to stop worrying. And the louder their message seems to get, the less you worry about the content of their message. It might sound cynical folks but it has served me well as a realist.
Example :-
Bird flu, then Pig flu, OMFG! oh but when you get it it'll be human flu (which is a very well known and analysed virus here in 2010) and, like its previous mutations, may kill you if you're very old, very young, or have a compromised immune system (MS/ME/AIDS+others)
What happened to Badger flu then?
On topic then, I must say it's obvious that governments like to control their propaganda - have vito over anything they don't want us to see. And if you let them they'll direct the entire scene you do see to fit their repetitive statements. (If I was a 'government' I'm sure my agenda would be the same) What on earth would people think if they realised what conniving, manipulative, dishonest, selfish, greedy, peadophilic.... no hang on, edit that last word out would you....
To me it's truly a surprise to think people are surprised by this. Old news is what it is, pure and simple. Be amused by the medias current efforts to subvert our intelligence and feel smug that they think you think they're for real.
Anyway, If we didn't have our armies fighting and dying around Afghanistan and Iraq, my GOD the smack would be more expensive. It's only the puppet warlord WE put in place during our occupation (sorry, 'Liberation') who makes sure the opium keeps flowing (at prices your average street dealer would think he just won the lottery) and HIS militia that enables the shipments to get through HIS border checkpoints without problems. We have our own guys this side
and it's a system that has worked well for 50 years so what is the problem?
