One thing that we should all look at is the issue of sobriety.

In this area of North America more people have died as a result of flying golf balls and pigeons falling out of trees than from Swine Flu. And yet reports would lead one to think that there is another round of bubonic plague occurring or about to occur.

If there is one thing we should have learned from all of the 'sure predictions' of catastrophe from the past few years: there is always a mysterious element to such things as disease that is beyond our ability to fully understand or predict. Even when such things have occurred in the past we still do not know why they suddenly began nor why they suddenly disappeared.

Life in any form is not so fully predictable.

In Christ- Fr Raphael
