a little ranting for a tuesday.

I'm so over hype. SO. OVER. I'm exhausted by the media dictating the next crisis, I'm tired of hearing about H1N1, if I never heard the word immunization again, I'd be totally fine.

Seeds. Tiny little blips on the radar of our minds, dripping like Chinese Water Torture. It's ridiculous. The drips and blips put chinks in the armor that is our sanity, our reason, our common sense; first one, then two, then four, then the deluge opens and we are drowned in a deluge of scary sensationalization.

Yes, I said sensationalization. Blogger does not think it is a word, but I do. So there.

Whether or not you get your family vaccinated for the seasonal flu or H1N1 is your business. There are people who really, truly should have the vaccines. But really? People who are scared shitless because they believe every last word they hear on Fox News or CNN or in the Batavia Daily should take a deep breath and dig a little deeper. You owe it to yourself and your family to read as much as you can from as many sources as possible. Read. Learn. Try to understand both sides of the argument.

Our culture is espoused in fear. Have you seen the news? It's all murder this, armed robbery that, people dying here, terrorism there. Media governs culture. Not to go all conspiracy-theory on you, but really? When we're all on the Fear Wagon, we do what the media tells us to do. We get the shots. We hate. We protest. We purchase. We don't always exercise our independent thinking.

And that is not good, people.

Learn. Think. Study. Then act.

  4. Totally what I was thinking. I am sick of people telling me I have made the wrong choice for my family. "Don't you know kids die from this" is the phrase I hate the most. People die from taking a walk...hello! Okay sorry..kinda a topic I wish would totally disappear in the near future!

  9. We're pretty sure Matt had the swine flu a few weeks ago, but seeing as how vaccinations weren't even available around here (including seasonal flu vaccines I believe), we handled it like any other sickness. I avoided him, he stayed home from work, he took care of himself, and eventually all was fine. I'm not for over-reaction. Love the post.

  10. Amen Sister! An informed decision is a good decision, regardless of the way the decision swings.

    I also refuse to be made fearful, life is good and not so scary.
