[FULL RANT ON]

Oh-Nooooo! Mr Bill! Danger will Robinson Danger! Danger! Chicken Little get out your umbrella! Looky There! see that big chunk of the sky sitting on the lawn over there! The Sky is falling! The magnetic poles are swerving all around! The solar cycle is reaching it's 50,000 Year maximum! The sunspot activity is increasing and the plasma impinging on our Ozone layer has risin dramatically causing untold disaster to that nice protective layer! Several million years ago these giant reptiles stripped all the vegetation off the planet and then were obliterated by a big rock that god or some other force threw at the earth! And it's all our fault. Shame on us humans. We did it! We hunted those poor dinosaurs to death after they were put on the defensive! We are causing the poles to wobble and disentigrate by mining all that magnetic iron ore and driving it all over the place! We are cuasing the sunspot activity by lofting all that extra mettal up into orbit and deploying those nasty solar collecting wings! It's all us. We aren't the puny insignificant slime covering this particular rock - oh no - We are all powerfull HUMANS and we should be ashamed of the damage we have wrought! It's all our fault and now the sky is falling and we're all doomed! Run for the hills! stop driving your SUV and walk! Go Vegan so the poor animals will not have to be killed!



BAH! Phooey!

BTW, what has any of this got to do with the charter of this forum? Specifically the issue of being equipped to survive the 72 hours required for rescue from natural or man-made disasters that are normal course of events in daily life for humans adventuring upon the face of this rock?
