    On a large enough time scale and/or population it is possible, but it is not a given.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I'm so glad I live in an Island 20 years behind the mainland...if avian flu reaches britain us we'll stop all our ships going out and grown our own food, like we did during foot and mouth. Unfortunatly i doubt the whole of britain could do that.

    I'll worry about this in 2026 : )
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    We'll let the more urban areas die of hunger, reduce the surplus population and such...

    The BBC refered to the situation in Turkey as The Bird Flu Crisis. That's right, 100 people dead in 2 years in the whole world constitutes a crisis. By that scaling, surely cancer is an apocalypse.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    All the Media in the United Kingdom appears to have called it so...

    It's not a crisis.

    Yet.

    There are now talks on that there are more cases in Asia then believed before, but most of them not so serious and therefore believed to be just normal flu. Would make the flu less deadly, but spreading faster.....

    Hmmph, tell that to the millions of chickens who died during this CRISIS either because of the flu, or the human sponsored chicken genocide...
