I'm sure the meda's gotten you very scared about the over-hyped swine flu... But really, do we have to give up our constitutional rights to protect against it?
If so, why weren't these rights revoked much earlier, for other, more deadly diseases?
I hope that this bill doesn't pass... And if it does, I hope the courts get rid of it quickly.
