FIRST IT WAS GLOBAL WARMING
First we had Global Warming. Now we have Global Debt.
What next? I cannot imagine what things will be like we we try to reduce both of these problems.

They haven't proven global warming at all, global debt on the other hand is quite visable and doesn't really need proving at all if you have paid any attention to the news in the last year.

Remember Y2K??? What a disappointment...got up on New Years Day and everything still worked. Lots of people made lots of money on that fiasco.

Perhaps our society has simply become immune to the implications of "normal" disasters. In the way we have to 'supersize' every thing from sports stars to slurpies....'megadeath' is the only way we relate to an otherwise bland superlative.
'Going postal' has many layers of irony as applied to 'global debt'.
Of course, the notion of "artificial intelligence" has spawned a jillion comments about "artificial stupidity".....and here we are, lead by the like of Al Gore and symphony of sycophants muttering to each other and biting at themselves, infesting the rest of the world with their natterings.
I haven't heard any news stories lately about "Trilateral Commission". Wonder where they are hiding out.

I'm not loosin any sleep over "alleged" global warming.
Global debt on the other hand is real and dangerous.

"Global Warming" is sooooo yesterday. It's now "Environmental Justice".
I think that this means a working stiff American gets to pay some Banana Republic dictator so he can drive a Prius.

If the crisis du jour can induce panic spending, they're sending it down the pike at us. We've got to stop playing along with their mind games.
This is a super dysfunctional relationship. We have to distance ourselves from it.

about a month ago i heard on the albany, ny channel 6 news this country will be facing a water shortage in the near future. more political scare tactics. sensible conservation of our natural resources is just common sense. most everything else the goverment wants you to do is just baloney.

Global warming translates into longer growing seasons and more rainfall. Shudder to think of the implications for a growing population on Earth. I'll fire up the grill one last time....
