Shule shule, shule aroon
Shule the agaragar, shule the coon
Shule shule shule aroon
I don't think that anyone should tie me oh

Here I sit on Buttermilk Hill
Weep I will and weep my fill
Every tear would turn a mill
Johnny is gone for a soldier

I'll send my flax sell my meal,
Sell my only spinnin' wheel
Buy my love a sword of steel
Johnny's gone for a soldier

Loved him oh I loved him so
Broke my heart to see him go
Only time can heal my woe
Johnny's gone for a soldier

I sold my flax and my meal
Sold my only spinnin' wheel
Now he's dead upon the field
Johnny's gone for a soldier

Is the Internet a real and useful invention, which makes many new things possible? Yes.

So therefore, we should have invested in every dot.com bubble stock available in 1999? No.

That's the difference between fact and mass hysteria.

The mass hysteria and the overselling of every anecdote that supports catastrophic warming is right up there with the dot.com bubble, along with the suppression of every anecdote that doens't support it. And for the same basic reason - suppression of healthy scepticism. In the first case from greed, in the second from fear and lust for power.
