Tired of this sky is falling mentality . . .

For millions of years, the earth has warmed and cooled . . . no doubt as a reaction to the effects of solar energy reaching our atmosphere. For hundreds of years, we measured andrecorded "the weather" . . . some folks even make a living trying to predict it. For the 60 years I've been blessed with the opportunity to experience life on earth . . . it's rained, snowed, and changed temperatures every year. Call me stupid, but we mortals have ZERO control over Mother Nature. Now don't get me wrong, I hate to read about anyone hurt by severe weather in any way shape or form. God knows, I suffered property loss to Agnes a few years back. But you know something - hurricane, tornado, and tidal waves are what they are . . . acts of nature, totally beyond the control of man. Try to stop one!

For the past few years, this glo-bull warming thing is driving common sense folks absolutely nuts! It seems like every weather event is elevated to the high plains of sensationalism. This weekends "worst storm in 25 years" . . . " a storm of historic impact" . . . "airports close in anticipation of . . ." holy shit . . . the sky is falling!!! It just a fucking storm . . . like any other severe storm . . . in any other decade . . . or century since man's been around to observe the effects of nature. But, it makes for a good news story . . . in this 24-7 news feed world of ours . . . and the wackos take advantae of yet another opportunity to blame it on Mr. Bush or advance the glo-bull warming agenda. Give me a break!
