Oh, yes, I've read and known of the Serenity Prayer for quite a while. I find the Desiderata more to my liking; seems more reflective of the everyday life that I actually lead. Touches upon more of the normal everyday occurences so to speak. There's that "listen to the dull and ignorant ; they too have their story" part that seems so applicable many tmies every day. Particularly, I like the phrasing of "Therefore be at peace with God
whatever you conceive Him to be That's just so... so... so.. INCLUSIVE, don't you think? So, my fave is the D.
I have no investments in Oil Companies directly. There probably are some in a Mutual Fund I have though. However, I am considering doing a little research to see who really controls the cow dung market. Could be time to short it, although if you read it on CNN you can bet the "big boys" in cow dung have already made the real money on the shift. But what if home chefs stay with the traditional fuel despite the Brown Cloud? Trying times, indeed, for investors.
As to the millions dying.... well, they might die of the Brown Cloud. You really can't be sure. After all, as Easymo pointed out, it IS a CNN piece.
Most certainly though, you can be sure all of those millions and billions WILL die... sooner or later. It's man's fate, eh? Birth, life death, rebirth (well, the last depending upon your particular belief system)? The Circle of Life so to speak?
Another thing you can be certain of is this: If CNN is correct, there's not much Toad or Thrawn can do about now is there? I don't really see myself as a "causal factor" in the chain of events leading up to the disaster, either. Do you?
So, unlike the previous threads on man-made disasters it doesn't seem like we'll have to wait 100 or 200 years to see if this one is a real threat or a hobgoblin. At present, of course, it apparently does not affect the US, however the bit about the traveling cloud is a bit disconcerting, eh? Probably hit Vancouver first...... but then we'd all eventually be in the "soup" as well.
Nonetheless, I just wanted to be the first to point out that the US is at fault. I'd like to offer my apology at this time as well. Might as well get it over with , eh? Someone has to be the Sin Eater.
Now, I hope I've answered all your questions, Thrawn. Let me know if you need anymore info.
