I read the standard news fare today and reflect back decades ago and it was not much different.
From an impeding ice age we discovered that underarm deodorant in spray cans caused the ozone layer to disappear, heating up the earth and causing skin cancer. Eggs and milk were considered unhealthy for a while and now are back in.
Global warming is in, but no one really thinks its a problem, otherwise they would do something. If governments were really convinced that our earth was warming that quickly, they would curtail pleasure driving altogether, outlaw motor homes, restrict gasoline sales and cut manufacturing for all non essential items as a few measures that would help right away, not ten years from now.
The end of the world is something prophesied by religion and science. It is expected every generation.
One day we will disappear I am sure, like the dinosaurs and cave men.
Maybe that rock they found from Mars came here when life fled Mars when it became uninhabitable?
In my youth the Viet Nam war and Commies threatened our way of life, now it the Axis of Evil and a few other players.
The recession is over they say.
The world is still spinning for the moment.
I feel I am in the eye of the bullshit storm. It will start again about something, people will believe it, a war will start and everybody’s wish will come true.
We will disappear in the brown hurricane.
