Swine Flew


Now we have a pandemic scare, and this time from the ‘simple pig’. First it was the cow, and was called mad cow disease, then ‘foot and mouth’ then the chicken flu.

I remember years ago when plague was declared in India, source being garbage in Surat, every Indian travelling abroad was treated like a leper. Not that we ever treated better anyways, but thanks to the plague the world had every reason to discriminate us further. US with its usual ‘foot in its mouth’ disease used its media machinery propaganda to malign India as it always does, but as usual India emerged out it, this time cleaner as Surat became a model for cleanliness.

Now the problem is in America’s backyard, so the treatment is different. There is no travel ban to and from Mexico like how it was done for India. No warnings nothing. The fact anyways is swine flu has been transmitted more futher than what the plague did when it originated from India.

Feeding the insatiable appetite and greed for American consumerism, everything has to be produced more. So go for Genetically Modified (GM) Food. This way you get more grain from your farm and stress the natural resource of the earth and pollute it with fertilizers. Inject hormones into animals so they grow faster, and the meat factories churns faster, makes profit faster. Then today the world is paying the price. Fatten the pig and it gets sick. Then its sickness gets transmitted to humans. Humans get it as everything we eat is GM food. So nothing natural goes in, which fails our immune system. Our immune system fails pump it up with vaccines and drugs.

So longevity of life has increased but at the cost of decrease in quality of life. Build cars that pollute and today we don’t have clean air to breathe. So much has been American greed and their lust for power and financial supremacy, even the financial market falls sick. So to pump that inject stimulus packages, and make it more weak in the long run. GM Food or GM cars both failed for US

America wished if pigs could fly, unfortunately this time the pig flew
