Major Drop In Solar Activity Predicted

[Richard O'Neill]

  Well, isn't that just peachy! In the fifties we were warned of an 
impending ice age, nuclear testing fallout in our food and fast 
dwindling oil reserves. Off course the threat of nuclear annihilation 
was always in the background but folks mostly managed to ignore that.

  Then came ozone depletion and the prediction that we were all going to 
die of starvation from ultraviolet induced crop failures. Meanwhile, 
skin cancer would eat us alive. As those warnings started to fade our 
collective latent paranoia was once again reinforced by Al Gore's 
inconvenient nonsense delivered to a scientifically ignorant/ 
politically gullible populace governed by ruthless politicians.

  Now that these dire predictions have been unmasked as fiction we're 
faced yet again with an unproven yet 'almost certain' calamity by cosmic 
forces beyond our control. What is a poor human to do? Threats abound 
everywhere!

  Perhaps some day cockroaches /will/ inherit the Earth. In the meantime 
I think I'll have lunch and a short snooze. As Alfred E. Neuman said,
"What - Me worry? :-)
