Government conspiracy? This government is not smart enough to engineer anything other than 100 mistakes in 100 days.

I noticed that the pork producers are urging the Agriculture Department to call it something other than "swine" flu, because they are loosing business because some people believe you can get it from eating pork. (If that was true, than both houses of Congress would be fully infected) <smile>

In Israel, they are refusing to call it "swine" flu and are calling it "Mexican flu" (more proper). Actually, this virus contains genetic material from 1 swine, 2 birds and 3 humans. Perhaps it should be called the "when pigs fly" flu!

I'm waiting for someone to start a rumour in the Arab world that if they get infected they will end up with pig DNA in their body, making them unclean. That should generate a fatwa or two.
