Hows that for a job? I sure wouldn't want to be out floating in the open ocean counting individual krill, no sireee.

Shamrocck you would have loved living int he 70's [img]smile.gif[/img] We had no end to the doomsday warnings from theeconuts

Fortunately for everyone they were all wrong...the earth is still here, we still have Rain Forests and there is plenty of oil left in the world...we can still see the sky, the sun is still bright and no commets have wiped life off the face of the planet.

We don't have $100 apples at the grocery stand and apparently at least in the west we have pretty much enough food and necesities to take care of everyone....and in the case of the USA we have enough food stuffs to feed 2/3rds of the world...which we do. So all in all I think the alarmists of history should take a lesson from those idiots from the 70's and start to try to be a bit more realistic about their doom and gloom tactics.

Just my opinion.....well that and history has shown that my suspicions about doomsayers to be correct.
