I had stated some time back that I think at 48 I will not live long enough to see this country totally bankrupt itself and implode but feared my children would see it. I'm not that confident anymore in not seeing it first hand. I don't get a sense from DC that they understand where we are and where we need to go. I know throwing all of this money at pet projects and trying to keep insolvent banks from dying isn't where it's at but seems to be the chosen course. At this point I fear politicians far more then weather.

Global warming is not a big concern of mine. Really, when there's an asteroid that's going to enter our atmosphere and circle below satellites in the year 2029 and come back and possibly make an impact 7-years later, I think we're really concerned about the wrong stuff. I'm in the sunspot camp. There is no normal climate on this planet, so climate change is the norm, not an alarming situation. To get hysterical about climate change is to think we're bigger than our planet itself. There are tropical fossils at in the polar regions, and there was once a mile high sheet of ice over much of North America. Personally, I'm inclined to be more concerned about that mile of ice stuff. Furthermore, the switch from warm to ice apparently happened pretty quick from archeological digs.
