An asteroid caused the last mass extinction when it wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

I bet it was an American Asteroid.

There's nothing wrong with saving money. But my next point is probably going to be about how many cheaper non-hybrid cars get comparable mileage. And they don't have a trunk full of batteries.

The race to steal our money and our freedom is on! How many special interest groups will throw their hats into the ring durning the next year? The global warming group, of course. The asteroid that will demolish Earth group, yes. The suffocating greenhouse gasses group, yes. The recently vocal spreading extinction group, yes. The hate humans/love animals group, yes. The dictatorial food nazi group, yes. And, of course, the hate smoking/hate smokers group, yes. In fact, it has already become socially acceptable to importune smokers at random with rude remarks under the guise of helpful suggestions. lol

Not a word about the mother of all conjunctions coming up in five years? (Earth, Sun, Center of Galaxy).

Mind explaining that in terms us cosmologically-impaired can understand?

Okay. There was a special on TV concerning all the prophecies concerning 2012 the other day. Five or six major historical seers of sorts, as well as the Mayan Calendar, all agreed that the end of the world as we know it would be in December, 2012.

Even the scientific community hinted something out of the ordnicary would occur when they determined the earth and sun would line up perfectly with the center of our galaxy on 12/21/2012.

That's all I can tell ya.

"We are at the precipice of the end of the world," said Chera Van Burg of Species Alliance.

What?

Doesn't she believe in evolution?

Paul R. Ehrlich is part of it, so it has no credibility. :')

Although I take environmentalism seriously, I am more concerned about mass extinction through the nuclear program of that nutjob in Iran & his ilk.

Even my stepmother, a fervent liberal, shares the same worry.
