The real story about the swine flu that they are not telling you is how the run-off from overpopulated swine pens caused this human epidemic. Also Smithfeild the largest pork production company in the world with a factory in mexico is where the virus had it's beginnings. So the media actually buried two major stories. One being the environmental disaster caused by pork farming and also how the north american free trade initiative was used not to employ more Mexican and American workers,instead the treaty was used to enrich corporations and to flout american environmental laws. That is the true story. If we don't get on President Obama's case about Environmental rights, human rights and financial transparency then nothing will have changed.

Well, I don't know how strongly Obama will tackle environmental issues, but at least he seems to have more awareness that they exist than Dubya...who instituted "clean air" regulations early in his reign that actually ROLLED BACK provisions of the Clean Air Act, which had been doing a pretty good job since what, the 1970s?
In any case, that pic is funny as all get out.
