I remember being a young boy of probably 9 or 10 back in the early 90's and this had to be 92 or 93, and I remember I was watching a network news report with my Great-Grandma (who was in her late 80s at the time), anways...the news report said something about how scientist predicted that in 12 years from then that the sun would be soo hot that people would have to stay inside, and couldn't expose themselves to the sun.
When I heard this it scared the crap out of me and I asked my Grandma if that was true, and she said that it was not true and that the tv News can't always be trusted, and they will just say things to scare people. Well its been more than 12 years and we are still alive so Grandmas was right.
My grandma was a huge Rush Limbaugh fan back then too, she would listen to him everyday when she picked me up from grade school, of course back then I didn't know who Rush was or what he was talking about, I thought he was just an angry guy on the radio back then who used to be mad about everything. Later just in the last 5 years or so when I became more politically aware and started listening to Talk Radio myself, my mom told me that Grandma used to listen to Rush all the time when she was alive. Then it hit me after not thinking about it for years, that Rush was the guy on the radio everyday after school complaining about this or that lol.
We must be about the same age.
Thanks for sharing.
