If the original author you and you mean that stuff then yup. I've been hearing the same song and dance all my life, a few of the words change every now and then but pretty much it's all the same: economic collapse, race war, class war, end of the nation, end of the world, doom,
doo-oo-oo-mmm. Charles Manson was into the same stuff in the late 60s. 30+ years later it ain't happened yet. Then there's the enviromentalists, and the food shortage crowd. Seems there's a large quantity of people who just aren't happy if they think the world might actually out live them.
Of course I am watch The Omen right now, whatever that means.
In the interest of full disclosure I suppose I should admit that in the late 80s and early 90s I was one a doomcrier to. Quite convinced the whole sh!tpot was on the brink of melting down. I was quite convinced the whole thing was going to fall apart in 5 years. You know what happened 5 years after I first predicted that? The Rodney King riots. Problem is they stopped. Turned out I was full of crap. Now, as a recovering doomcrier that has accepted how dumb he was, I feel I have some leeway to poke at other doomcriers.
