“You’re kidding. I hope.”

I am. I respect Yellowstone, having been there so many times and understanding that boiling caldrons of sulfur just don’t pop up for no reason...there is OBVIOUSLY something down there, it whatever it is, it means business.

I’m more making an allegory to the IDIOTS on this site that think that Putin is in command of Yeltsin’s military. He is not...his military is a REAL THREAT to us on all levels, even more than the Soviet military was, as the Russians have had TWO DECADES of unfettered access to Western technology and hardware.

But, for some people, they won’t believe that until the mushroom clouds appear...

Oh, yeah. I was there last month, watching a tourist fool nearly break through the ground and into a chamber of live steam with his foot. That is a very, very interesting piece of geology and it's changing a little every day.

The problem is that an area that could have a super-eruption also has other possibilities for relief that are less catastrophic. Nobody knows. Might be we'll have a lake of lava to toast weenies over. Might be we'll have a Krakatoa on steroids. I'll plan for the weenie roast because if it's the other, there isn't a damn thing I can do about it.

I suspected that you were kidding.

You’re right about the other comments as well.
