Popular notions are ALWAYS wrong. If you don't know that,

then you've
haven't studied history and you're to young to have

learned it from
experience. Hardly a century goes by without doomsday

predictions becoming
popular notions. I lived through the global cooling

hysteria of the 70's, so
please spare me the ignorant ranting of the true

believers.

Someday the earth may cool to absolute zero or heat to a

million degrees. I
don't know. All anybody "knows" is what they think the

historical record
shows: that the earth gets really cold and the earth gets

really hot.

The rest is the clucking of hens.

He gave it up. It was a popular thing to do. Now he has one. But, we're
safer than we were before Saddam was in power in Iraq, so it's now unpopular
to believe that, so he dug one again. Wait, now I'm confused.
