Default Who are you going to listen to??

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.

The only thing that we learn from history is that we never learn
from history...

You are insulting the decent hard-working egg-laying hens of the
world.

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.
