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. -- jlrogers±³© Funny you should ask. In '63 my father built an underground house with 5,000 square feet. The roof of the house was 16 feet underground. It was such a hit they had to move out and open it to the public for a year, just to let the hoopla die down so they could move back in without the doorbell ringing constantly. The house was featured in Life magazine and Walter Cronkite had a segment called "Tu Tu's Tour of the Underground House." Tu Tu was an 75 pound Chow Chow who loved cameras, posing if you just held your hands to your face while saying "Smile." It was such a hit, my Dad built one for the World's Fair in New York. Made the Wall Street Journal and hundreds of papers across the country. So you're a troll? Never lived there myself. I was in Viet Nam at the time. What were you doing in Nam in '63? |
