The GOP's war on education & science over the past 25 years seems to have worked wonders....

The British are actually taking the issue seriously, making rational contigency plans and being honest with their citizens, and yet it seems like every time the issue comes up, some posters chime in with clueless cries of "fear mongering."

News for the clueless:

Public Health officials in countries all over the world are very concerned, and don't issue the sorts of statements we've been hearing lightly.

Being a dumb American may protect you against evils of the metric system and fuel effiiciency standards, but when H5N1 finally breaks out, you'll be singing a different tune.
