Swine Flu...

And loss of our freedoms when Big Brother attempts to introduce new, harsh, laws upon the whole world. "for our own protection"

I've hard that 6000 people were killed in Mexicos drug war last year. And yet people still vacation in mexico and willingly pay to visit this cesspool

Get back to me when 6000 people have died due to this flu...

You are far, far, far, more likely to be struck by a car today...

This graph sucks. Please tell us what the Y axis represents and what do the letters mean. Without those, this graph is useless.
