WOOOHOOO! 500,000 dead maybe in Mynamar. Thank goodness..... [View All]

[The Straight Story]

All those folks worried about over population can rejoice now. Lots of folks are dead.

I feel better already, don't you? :sarcasm:

Thankfully, the worst problem we had tonight (while living our little lives) was that DU was down for a spell.

And I am damned thankful those folks in the 70's were wrong about over-population and starvation, etc and so on.

The world, contrary to what they and the religious right said, has not ended yet. No new ice age, no mass death and destruction on a regular basis....now we have global warming, bush (and I would swear I read in the book of Revelation he was riding a horse...), and the fall of communism (which they kept drilling into our heads was a threat, only to be replaced today with Islam and terrorism, etc).

It's always something coming to screw us all up. And yet in the end we usually die in a hospital as our organs fail us.

Doomsday, meteorites, over population, cooling, warming, etc and so on - we have all heard that before for years.

Them crazy religious folks told us a long time ago that we would fuck it all up, from the water to war. Guess they were wrong....or maybe not.

You don't have to believe in God to see how right prophecies were about us all. Given enough time we would screw this world up.

Technology is our friend. Or was. And what have we done with it? Pollute our waters, make nuclear weapons, found new ways to monitor and control people.

The problem is not science, it is not guns, etc. It is people.
