So here I am in Vegas, broke as balls, and stepped up to my room to check for a couple emails, and what do I see?  President Obama has declared a national emergency in regards to the Swine Flu, H1N1.

A National Emergency declared by the president doesn't need Congressional Approval.  It is how Bush started the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq - 2 wars without any approval -, it is how he enabled the recalling of soldiers (the government's "draft prevention" program, which Obama extended another year around Sept 11th), and now this National Emergency against H1N1.

Many measures now can be taken by the government to do whatever they feel is necessary to "protect" the population of the country.  Beware.  I don't know how this can pan out, and I really don't want to think about it right now, but I am warning you that if you like the freedoms you have now, they may become even less with each national emergency.

I can see them trying to force us to take a vaccine, even if we don't want it, haha.

Hooray for mankind!
