Bird flu – A “Twelve Monkeys” Analogon?

The H5N1 virus – better known as the bird flu – is going around the world. I thought about some analogies with the hollywood movie “Twelve Monkeys” from 1995. Ok, I know the virus is not that dangerous and is not that ambitious to kill, but what could be in ten years. Is this little H5N1 going to maka a deathly mutation? Nobody knows. As I am watching the news channels, I think they do it just to have a good header for the evening news. But at the other side I can imagine how such a virus could develope in a real threat.

    Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
    Our country is in debt until forever, we don’t have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
    The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
