For months now we have been worried about the economy — why?  Because the media kept telling us how bad things were and how things were only getting worse.  Every once in awhile they would throw out a warm fuzzy story about the economy, and counter it with a dozen bad stories.

Now there is mass hysteria about the swine flu—why?  Because the media is constantly telling us about the people who died, how many cases were diagnosed, and how many cases were unconfirmed.  This hysteria caused school districts to overreact, health departments to panic, and people to walk around in ridiculous masks.    In reality fewer people have died from the swine flu than die from the normal flu.

The good thing is the economy has been able to rebound some since the media has been too busy telling us we might die to worry about telling us that we’re going to run out of money!  What catastrophe are they going to grab onto next to help us forget to Purell our hands a million times a day?
