The host of Meet the Press died suddenly today of a heart attack at age 58.
May he rest in peace.

Well, maybe its just ABC’s viewer ratings.  In September, the American Broadcasting Company will begin airing a propaganda series titled “Earth 2100.”  The series will chronicle how the destruction of the world, particularly America, will unfold over the next 90 years. 

From man-made climate change (which appears to be no more than a myth) to devastating wars (we are currently in an unparallel period of a global lull in wars); ABC seeks to convince YOU that the sky is falling.  Unless we convert to solar power, eat wheat grass and make our clothes out of renewable hemp the world is doomed.

This sort of Chicken Little mentality does nothing to help the true problem; humanity has lost its way.  We have little left to conquer of this planet; we are convinced we know everything there is to know about life on Earth.  This, not the fallacy of certain doom, is our problem.  The false pretense of absolute knowledge is public and personal enemy number one.  Overcome the belief that Man is the end-all be-all of the entire universe and we will find that mysteries and knowledge we have yet to imagine await our species for eternity. 

Or, if you believe ABC, wear hemp, eat all organic, drink wheat grass and only use solar power and MAYBE you will survive for the next 90 years.  I say smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em

The Irish have voted to retain their sovereignty.  The vast majority of the working class and farmers on the Emerald Isle flocked to precincts to lodge their dissatisfaction with the breadth of the Lisbon accord.  Fearing a loss of control in the areas of taxes, immigration, social and moral laws, the EU juggernaut was defeated.

Way to go Ireland!  Maintain your sovereignty.  By all means, engage in free trade but don’t sell your soul for a pittance.
