And we are reminded daily that's what we allegedly believe. That gets old, too.

Well, paraclete, just what was the point of your post anyway? It's well known that the earth goes in cycles like the dinosaurs, etc. ice ages, etc.

You really must have gotten up in a grouchy mood to post that...

Next year 2011 is when all the hype starts drumming up. Just like it did in 1999 before the big (cough) crash since we couldn't count past 2000. Lol

I think my point is obvious, we are bombarded by news of things we don't need to know, like the Earth will be wiped out in 16,000,000 years. Somewhat insignificant when we are contemplating the Earth as we know it being wiped out in 100 years from our own efforts, or wiped out by an asteroid in 30 years. Now you make a good point about cycles, we have this hysteria about climate change when there is strong evidence it is part of a cycle, just an interlude between ice ages.

I think it is high time we woke up to the way we are being manipulated by researchers and the media, just as we are mainpulated by politicians and the media. My comment about the little red fox is obvious you couldn't keep her out of the media before her take over and now she is quiet
