I cant 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, WERE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Some of us remember Swine Flu was going to kill us all, if GLOBAL COOLING DIDN’T back in the 1970’s....

I definitely remember the "Coming Ice Age" when I was a kid. That memory has been such a useful tool in arguing with the latest WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! crowd.

Same here. My highschool on the east side of Cincinnati made the local news multiple times back then for its then ‘revolutionary efforts’ at recycling....which allowed the whacko’s running the ‘program’ to speak about Global Cooling being the end of the human race as we know it within a century.
I was one of those rare kids that realized by my sophomore year they were just highschool teachers....

Italian proverb:
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.

It is true “we are all going to die” I choose not to die by politics.

You also forgot the killer bees... And that asteroid that's always lurking around in space just waiting for the opportunity to crash into Earth.

Don’t forget that “acid rain will kill all life in our oceans by 1980”. I believe that prophesy was by Ted Dansen, actor.

I caught the flu that went around in the 50’s. Can’t remember what they called it but years after I survived it I read where it was a pandemic. I guess I am lucky to be here. My husband survived the Swine flu in the 60’s. Are we tough folks or what!

The global pandemic that will take down Western Civilization will begin in some crowded cubicle farm.

Funny thing is, the stuff that DOES kill people in large numbers is hardly given a second thought.

Yep, you are right. So many ways we’re all gonna die any second, so little memory chip available in my brain pan....(chuckle)
Ya know, I can’t hear about ‘killer bees’ and not see John Belushi dressed up as one.

Other than his wrong assessment of the very real repetitive strain injuries ( I can personally attest to it), Bolt is right on the money. He even mentioned acid rain a biggie from the eighties who the “experts” exclaimed would kill us all. Where are the acid-rain doomists now? I suppose they just transformed themselves into GW doomists. Now I’m just wondering after the GW scare diminishes what the next doomist scenario will be. Exploding mp3 players? Any suggestions?
To: Ditter
Humans aren’t quite as easy to kill as many suggest.

No kidding--just ask Jeanne Dixon in all her annual predictions of how we're all gonna die...
Oh wait--she's dead. Nevermind!
