Influenza Immune to Humans

Influenza A(H1N1) virus resistance to oseltamivir.

What does that mean for the common man (or woman)? Well there is this little virus called H5N1 that is commonly called Bird Flu. These viruses are poised to present the world with the largest pandemic since the virus or viruses that introduced humankind to internal justation (more about that later). What could easily happen in yet another example of end time proficy is that the "standard" flu virus may combine with the "standard" bird flu creating an incurable, non-vacined flu strain that would become vastly more superior to any known flu strain. This Super Strain would cover the world in a short period of time due to our very communiable mentalities and globalized society.

But here is the kicker, maybe it's necessary. Maybe it serves humankind right for viewing ourselves as gods upon a little piece of the galaxy. But I don't believe that. I try to see things in positive lights, even if they are black holes. Humanity has experienced its share of viral contamination, and we are still here somehow. Whether we incorporated the virus or bacterium into our own DNA structure, built up resistance, or simply allowed the viruses to eliminate the succeptable segment of our populations. The reason any of this could be seen as positive, is the fact that it allows for our preditory, dominant species to evolve just that much further. Just as AIDS is conquering populations across the world, a Super Flu Strain would not be limited by proximity, homosexual, or cotus.

So, in understanding simply that we are flawed, we can either except that as time goes on we either get worse in most aspects of biology, socieology, and ecology; or we will continue to evolve. But with any growth equalibrium must be contained. Meaning that some will loose in the ultimate game of chance paying with their lives, while others will propegate and bring about new generations, just alittle better than we are currently. We all must die, but its what we do with life and the impact we leave that makes a difference in an ultruistic belief.

Changing the World in 2009

So, it is another new year for us all that survived 2008. With all the wars, tragedies, and economic crisis. Many of us are asking ourselves, "what can I do to change the world" or "what can I do just to make it to next week!" Well, believe you me, most people are in either category. We, as an American society have made a great stride in the right direction by electing Barrack Obama. I don't vote (I believe in Democracy in the purest form, but not electoral colleges) but would consider myself an Independent leaning towards Republican.

Aside from the "Change" propaganda, I believe that as time goes forward, the world needs to be united under a common belief that anyone can succeed to provide an opportunity for the majority to try instead of the minority. But like President Elect Obama mentioned, "things are going to get worse before they get better." I agree. It's economics, human nature, and simple science. But in survival of the fittest, these crisis will weed out the economically weak, the idiotics of humanity (those people that cut you off to make it to a red light first, I hate that), and those seeking prominent positions through shiesty tactics. Hang in there world, don't loose your hair like me.
