In light of the hell breaking loose on Mexican soil over the last few
days I thought I'd pose a question that occurred to me while listening
to the BBC in my car, "Could fear of a possible pandemic give a
government sufficient weight to stamp out dissent?" It seems highly
probable and I'm curious to find out if it has been tried in the past.
After all, an unpopular regime, especially one with some kind of germ
theory, could announce a new disease and then prohibit groups of 4 or
more. For those conspiracy nuts out there, I'm not accusing the
Mexican government of doing this, but I recognize the potential. Fear
is a prime motivator to sacrifice your rights, after all you can
always try and get back your rights, right?
