The end-of-world folks must be sadly forlorn, lost in boredom, now that the date has been moved to October 2011. That's a long time to wait for a culture that thrives on conspiracies, apocalypse, and alien sightings. How is a self-respecting, tin foil hat wearing, Mayan calendar kind of guy to fill the time until October? We have a winner. Vaccines.
Yes we're talking cancer causing polio vaccines, secret government plans to poison our children with small-pox cures, even possible attempted genocide hidden under the guise of measles eradication. The web is exploding with sites warning us about this while hawking, I kid you not, home cancer cures at $5.15 a day, an intestinal cleaner called Oxy-Powder, and my personal favorite, the Bio- Energy laser. Check here for details.
There's enough web-sites out there to keep these morons busy until the end-times machine cranks back up later this summer. Of course the fact that millions of men, women, and children die every year for lack of vaccines we take for granted, childhood diseases that killed millions a 100 years ago have been almost eradicated in this country, and people from all over the world envy our medical system seems to escape these nut jobs.
Folks who never let the facts get in the way of a good conspiracy seem to thrive in times like these, offering proof positive that the theory the weak are removed from the gene pool by natural selection is wrong.
