and conspiracy theorists especially after getting an email the other day. The presentation highlighted the lack of lethality of H1N1 relative to other diseases that will wipe out mankind. A conspiracy theory was raised largely due to Rumsfeld’s 1997-2001 chairmanship of a Tamiflu manufacturer.
Leaving the nature of such viral (the Slo-Man apologises) emails for another time, the Slo-Man is left with a sense of unease.
Are the folks in power really in power? Do they really have control over the situation? Is this a reversal of the 80’s when AIDS was largely ignored by them? Are they over-reacting in compensation?
The Slo-Man is always interested in conspiracy theories, he believes Area 51 may conceivably have unexplained and secret alien spacecraft. However, he did see a show about 9/11 recently and was stunned to see a collection of young men in their late 20s or early 30s with a collection of MacPro’s cutting and analysing video footage frame by frame to prove their point.
And it left him wondering – who the heck pays them to spend their time doing this? Who funded the computer equipment? Now there’s a conspiracy theory for you.
Go forth and wonder……
