Is it just me, or do people just love to create fear?
It seems that people just latch onto anything they can and use it to scare themselves and others around them.
Especially things that have to do with:

1. Death
2. The End of the World

How many times has the world been predicted to end? Countless! Off the top of my head, there was 1919 where Albert Porta predicted that the conjunction of six planets would make a magnetic field so strong it would make the sun explode and the world would burst into flames. GUESS WHAT? I didn’t happen. The biggest one was in 2000, with the whole Y2K problem. ”The clocks aren’t going to resent to 2000 thus making everything shut down and the world will go into chaos rawrawrawr”. People stocked up on food and water. Nothing happened. The clocks all clicked to 2000. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Or was it a sigh of slight disappointment?

In today’s modern world, the media is probably the biggest fearmonger that exists. If a kitten is stuck up a tree, the media will probably portray it as, “EVIL TREE TRIES TO EAT KITTEN. OBVIOUSLY A SIGN OF WAR!” Sad thing is, people eat it all up like a bowl of cereal. And often, thing tend to spin out of control, the snowball effect taking place and turning a stuck kitten into a war against trees.

Take, for example, H1N1.
Or should I say:
SWINE FLU!!1!!11!!ONE!

This was probably the most annoying thing that’s ever happened. More people die from the common flu than from swine flu, and yet all of a sudden, it’s this big evil disease that is going to creep into your house and infect you, your babies, and your dog?
No. No it’s not.
Luckily, the world finally got over this, but what’s next?
It’s the Dolphin Flu I tell you! Damn dolphins, they’re too intelligent for their own good…

In the next few years, it’s been predicted, from the Mayans, that the world is going to end in 2012. This is such a big deal that even Hollywood has taken it under its greasy, disgusting wing and produced the horror that was 2012: The Movie. (I kid, the movie wasn’t THAT bad.) This will not happen. It will not happen. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.

But if it does... I'm going to guess it's because of
Dolphin Flu.
And if it does, you know who we are going to
have to team up with.
That's right: Narwhals.
