Ain't Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf

I think everyone likes to be fearful. It occupies the time because we don't want to be happy either. There's plenty of fear going around, besides the regular phobias, loss of job, house, food, clothing, we live from day to day if a terrorist is going show up where we are, will there be a weather shut down, probably most of all will some complete idiot be elected president on either party line. The media, people in various agencies are always warning us to be fearful, the latest is the Dog Flu. They don't really say what can be done to prevent it, but a very expensive vaccine is on the way. Those interviewed give the usual, "oh yes the pet is part of the family, oh yes we'll pay whatever to save them", well we get all that. Fear will make you do anything in the name of safety. I've always heard that the best way to keep from getting sick is to always wash your hands. Well you can bet that Boodini has the cleanest paws in the hood!
