And, despite what the environmentalists would have us believe, man's power to damage the planet pales beside the forces of nature...

Some nutjob called Rush's show today (with Roger Hedgecock subbing for Rush) and tried to say that we have messed up the surface of the earth by building highways, blasting tunnels through the mountains, sucking gas and water from beneath the earth, etc. and have messed up the stability of the earth, which is no longer like a geodesic dome because we have pulled so many of the props out ... or some such weird thing. Roger cut him off pretty quickly so one didn't have to listen to much of his drivel ... and stated that earthquakes, etc., have been happening since long before man was driving SUVs ... or even inhabiting the planet.

Sounds like one of my relatives. The good news for me is that I will now have to spend slightly less time with them whenever I see them.
