The sky is falling! yet another prediction about the end of the world.! As if that is something new. Things have always been bad. Try living 100, 500, 5,000 50,000 years ago. Infant mortality in the 20, 30, 50, 90%. No surgery. Disease you couldnt cure. Death at 30 or 40 from old age.Constant childbirth for women until death at 30, constant war for men. Die of 100's of minor ailments. Die from religous wars, ingorance, superstition. The history of the world is full of people bemoaning how bad things are, how the world is about to end. Well, we can fix some of those things now. Not all of them. Some we will, some we wont. Things will get better in some respects and worse in others. I doubt the sky will fall though. Still have religous bigots full of hate trying to control our lives , world is full of people whose minds are infected with one of many different religous viruses telling us only they have the answer. Well, you guys (and girls) sort out which religion has the answer, then come back and tell me when you have agreed. I won't hold my breath. Have a nice day, JoeC
