...thoughts on swine flu feardemic?

Posted this yesterday as a Twitter series in reflection on fearful reactions about "swine flu"

Note: surely we comprehend it's manufacture? another means of divide and conquer? swine cross bird, crossed with human strains? or are we to believe that some mutant, bird human with a fetish for pig caused this?

  • some notes on "fear". "Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination" -Christian Nevell Bovee
  • I feel "Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety" -Frank Smith.
  • and hope "We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason" -Edward R. Murrow
  • because "The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear" -Gandhi
  • "Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world" -Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • for "Fear; if allowed free rein, would reduce all of us to trembling shadows of men, for whom only death could bring release" -J Wilson
  • and the ultimate fear, "To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead" -Bertrand Russell.
