I can’t remember exactly what I wrote that was so evil. So much to choose from.

Was it that I refused to be freaked by this latest panic attack that global warming was blasting in and . . . Oh, my God, WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

[wbill]

Fantastic quote in this article....

I do often feel lonely in this astonishing age when to panic is a sign of virtue and to reason a sign of a cold heart.

I love it!

[FMBass]

I live by a simple motto, “Watch out where the huskies go and don’t you eat that yellow snow”!

[fredhead]

These prophets forget one thing......

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE.....

someday.

I was perusing some works by Paul Erlich from the 70s. Basically, if we all weren't dead from cancer caused by pollution, then we'd frozen to death in an ice age, killed by mass disease or starving to death. Oh, and there'd be no clean water no clean air and no oil.

Average life expectancy starting in 90s was, I believe, 41. I emailed my dad this quote and asked him to what he attributed his long life....

His response? "Scotch. And not worrying about all the doomsayers."

[usurper]

You also forgot the killer bees...

And acid rain

A-lar

Red die #2

DDT

Nuclear power

Humans aren’t quite as easy to kill as many suggest.

Or to quote Heinlein:
"At least once every human should have to run for his life, to teach him that milk does not come from supermarkets, that safety does not come from policemen, that news is not something that happens to other people."

Maybe then we'll realize that we're not such fragile creatures after all.

[wbill]

I had a cousin that is allergic to Red #2.

As a kid, if you'd give him something with RD2 in it, he'd literally bounce off the walls for a couple of hours until he exhausted himself.

Not life-threatening, but a real PITA for his parents. You'd be amazed at how much stuff has red dye in it.

What? No Alice Cooper references?

[null and void]

If there is a remedy, why worry?

If there is not a remedy, why worry?

The Iraqis have a similar one, but I can't remember exactly how it goes.

If there is a remedy, why worry?

If there is not a remedy, why worry?

Kill the jews...

[Badeye]

Yep.

[OCCASparky]

What? No Alice Cooper references?

Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me...
Can't sleep, the clowns will eat me...

There, happy now?

[libertarian27]

Thanks, Great article.

Great! Now can you do a Vincent Price imitation?
I guess I should go look up the lyrics myself....

I was taken in by the Y2K thing in a most embarassing manner. These days, I don’t worry about the end of the world as we know it; I keep my eyes open, yes, but experience tells me that (for folks in America, at least) things always work out okay in the end. As always, we’ll muddle through no matter what happens.

[B-Chan]

50,000 Americans die every year in auto-related incidents. That’s as many as died in the Vietnam War, every year. If we were really concerned about hazards faced by the general public, we’d ban private automobiles.

[weegee]

Ted has since excused his deliberate lie as “hyperbole” to get people to pay attention.

[weegee]

That’s already on the agenda.

[DejaJude]

I haven’t heard much about the Ozone Layer lately. That used to be a big doomsday thing.

[bolobaby]

Frickin’ BEAUTIFUL.

Cell phones cause cancer.
