Someone in MA is afraid of the swine flu . . .

. . . Or maybe they've just found a new justification to expand the power of the government.

Here is the link to the text of the bill.

Here is the link to the story on WND.

You can read the bill and the story. It covers a wide range of powers to force people to evacuate and "to destroy any material;". That is actually in the bill.

Of course people will say "whatever it takes to keep the public safe" and "it's for the children" and that sort of thing. When someone mentions "public safety" then I guess we should just throw everything else out the window.

It's not just against the public:

to require instate health care providers to assist in the performance of vaccination, treatment, examination, or testing of any individual as a condition of licensure, authorization, or the ability to continue to function as a health care provider in the commonwealth;

So if a doctor doesn't think a particular vaccination is a good idea he will be forced to do that?

Seems to me that this "pandemic" is similar to the "war on drugs" in that it is being used to justify almost anything. When the public panics there is a real danger that the government will get out of control.
