Interesting to me is the way the vision of Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux holy man, as told in the book Black Elk Speaks, is similar to the Book of Rev. Maybe fever dreams take similar routes in diverse peoples not sure. But then again, life is full of mysteries.

Not as much humor as the Greek or Roman gods. Still the valueithas is that the deity is petty and mean. Look atthe Tower of Babel and others.

Or cou,d be he was dying and dredged something form whar missionaries have said in the past.

Yes you are correct, it will never happen.

Try ayahuasca. You'll have some profound relationships with dreams and memory.

I was on the crapper typing so here is what I meant. Since you believe the world is ending, give someone who doesn't believe it will end. Someone like me. I'm not proud and will take anyone's money, anytime.

This could be an interesting arrangement.

Depends on how much money we are talking about. There are enough gay people in WI where I can sub out the job.

The sky is falling...the sky is falling!!

In reality, climate change IS happening. However, it isn't man made. Alternative energy sources wont help what's happening, because it's a NATURAL CYCLE of the planet. It's been proven time and time again that we are on the edge of another ice age. The planet is known to increase in temp a few degrees right before it happens, then dips enough to change the planet.

Blaming it on man is like blaming man for the extinction of the T-rex.

That would fall under the category of Survival of the Fittest. It's how herds are thinned out in nature...

Agreed. However, even those against man made climate change claim that the planet's temperature has increased a few tics over the years. That's not weather change...that's climate change.

There still isn't enough evidence pointing a strong finger at man for the increase...unless they look at the BTU of the human body. Since we've nearly doubled the human race in a short time, it could make sense to claim that the heat radiating off of of the human body has aided in increasing the temp by maybe .005 degrees, but there's not been a study on it that I know of.

Not really. He's stated in the past that he doesn't believe the alien crap, but that it IS a theory.

The voice of experience. You know where I can get some?

JK, I don't think I'll do any of that stuff again unless I land in some sort of hip hospice care when I'm in my last few weeks of life.

Yeah, I had experience with it once in the 1970's. Probably the most profound psychedelic ever. I doubt I'll ever redo any of those substances, either. I think the most I would like to do nowadays is smoke some mild weed on a late summer afternoon while fishing and having a couple of cold, cold hefeweizens.

I don't know your race, so I can't be using it as a slur, can I now?

Did it happen to occur to you, that perhaps I and others on this forum also had family and relatives directly affected by these events - and that perhaps we wouldn't see any humor in someone referring to them as getting "pimp slapped" - much less take offense to it?

I wasn't attempting to be humorous. I'm enraged at America's disregard of scientific fact. I was saying exactly that: if Americans don't accept the truth now, maybe they will when it's beat into them by Mother Nature, who hates to be abused.
