If we are going to drop a bomb anywhere, please drop it in the vicinity of Abbotsford.

This is by the way, but just in the interests of accuracy, I followed the link to St Kilda (I was sort of curious where it would take, and it wasn’t nearly as exciting a place as I had first hoped).

It says St Kilda joined the VFL/AFL in 1873, but that is clearly inaccurate because the VFL didn’t exist in 1873.

That should probably read that it joined the VFA in 1873, and was a founding member of the VFL in 1897.

Sealing the border or dropping a bomb on St Kilda for the good of the country as a whole – now that is a good idea Stevo

To put swine flu in perspective,airline pilots and flight crew visit Melbourne several times a day.
They are not quarantined , even though having to breath the same air as any potential carrier.
Same with interstate bus drivers .These people transport passengers all over the nation and
yet authorities do nothing.There’s a message in doing nothing.

I suspect in the future we will look back on this swine flu episode and file it in the same basket as the Y2K bug. Admittedly I didn’t see as many people stocking up their campervans and heading to the hills this time around. Some people just get very scared.

You have to wonder about what sort of doctors work for the government. Surely if they were any good at their profession they’d be in private practise earning the big bucks. I’ve spoken to doctors I know who can’t understand what all the fuss is about.

Indeed i wrote an article about this last week and the first comment i recieved related to how not informed i was about the detrimental effects of Swine-flu. I still think it is a media build up and it is good to see that there are people out there that share my views on this. Unfortunetly others think that you and i are both crazy. Yes, prevention is better than cure but this is taking it too far. Even Cowboys coach Neil Henry says it is an over the top reaction.
