16,000 children die EVERY DAY from hunger.
thats 5,800,000 a YEAR!!!!
Hmmm...
Lets see...
85 people in a total of 4 years have died of Bird Flu, SARS, etc.
And they have the nerve to say its a pandemic!!??
What the media touts a a PANDEMIC, is just fear mongering.
The REAL pandemics, are obesity, car accidents, drunk driving, hunger, smoking.......etc
REAL dangers. Not manufactured bull#.
Not saying that Swine flu isnt real, just saying that everything needs to be viewed in its proper perspective.

The act of a person blowing himself up is called Terrorism.
Go and ask ANYONE you know what's the first thing that comes into their head when you say terrorist, and I'll guarantee that they'll say "Someone who blows himself up."
You'll be shocked at what they say.
I wouldn't.

You might picture Japanese people when someone says the word Terrorism, but the rest of us picture people blowing themselves up.
Go and ask people what they think of when you say "terrorist".
Try the experiment out.

So how come when the media was covering bird flu thousands or even millions of people didn't die? I see what you mean by focusing energy on something but I think your theory is a bit flawed.
