I mean, it would suck (I have some things I'd really like to do that just couldn't be fit into the schedule), but no sense getting bent out of shape over something one has no control whatsoever over -- like eventually this planet will be uninhabitable by all presently known forms of life...a long time away in the future, we have no control over whatsoever, why are we collectively freaking out and making life suck right now because of it?<br /><br />PWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-60664394787428860052012-12-17T18:40:59.249-08:002012-12-17T18:40:59.249-08:001027 deaths since 2007 -- which breaks down to wha...1027 deaths since 2007 -- which breaks down to what? a little over 170 a year?<br /><br />I've been on a "anti-vaccine people are careless, murdering assholes" jihad this last week.<br /><br />And sorry about the outburst earlier, I just don't like the way some people's narrow, fear drenched little minds are starting to turn -- one guy was real big on gun control and rounding up the mentally "deficient" once, very popular too, ran on a ticket of keeping people safe and the nation strong. I think we know which law I'd break if I mentioned his name.<br /><br />This scared sheep act by people is going to be the death of us all. Arrgggh!
