Dear Baby,
Don't bother watching the news. It's all bullshit. Today the headlines read, "Swine Flu May Be Less Dangerous Than Predicted". Yeah, you think? Just like the Bird Flu. That was supposed to kill millions and destroy the country... And nothing happened. Or like Y2K was supposed to crash all computers and destroy the country... And nothing happened.
Everything in the news is always the worst possible situation ever and WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! Unless we buy something to fix it. The news is owned by giant corporations that sell stuff and it's much easier to sell stuff to people who are living in fear. If you're told you should buy something because it will save your life, you're more likely to do it. You don't need a vaccination or most of these identity guard deals or a pre-made disaster preparedness kit. Those are just things people are selling to you as a means of cashing in on your fear. We're all doing alright despite what the news says.
