Which is your favorite paranoid fantasy?

[Griff]

I have a fondness for the growing police state. The others I don't buy.

I'd have voted for global warming, but its not a paranoid fantasy -its REAL! Good luck all you folks under thirty!

I hope a police state is a paranoid fantasy. One wonders sometimes.

[9th Engineer]

I'll accept that global warming is occuring on some sort of scale, although I'm still doubtful that it's effects are as harmfull as have been advertised

[Happy Monkey]

They're worse than advertized by some, and not as bad as advertized by others. But they're bad enough.

Which is your favorite paranoid fantasy?

The first three, Global Warming, Peak Oil, and Police State will only get as bad as necessary before we decided to address them. Terrorism is mostly hype. Traditional Values Collapse is a complete and utter myth - made obvious once numbers are provided.

Previous threats such as ozone layer destruction and acid rain were eventually made redundant once we addressed them. The hard part was acknowledging a problem. Once those problems were acknowledged, then a solution was (and is still ongoing) easy.

Well, its nice to hear that you think God is in his universe and all's right with the world on the ozone layer, tw. Here's the latest data from NOAA

It shows that ozone depletion is indeed down from last year but still well above the average from previous years. One year does not a trend make, especially in the area of climatic change.

The other problem is that global warming is causing by CO2 emissions as much as anything and those are STILL on the increase.

Hahahaha.......v.funny Bri

Actually? I had a dream where gas was 5.76/gallon. In my dream I was in NOLA and people were subletting their apts to pay for gas..but, also in this dream people were splitting their tongues in forks like a devil or snake just for fun, so, whattya gonna do?

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Brianna, getting tongue splits was fashionable a year or two ago for about six months.

Griff, I'm not sure I could pick between my top two: terrorism originates from police states, or in trying to attain them.

And anybody who wants a greenhouse gas, try water vapor. Abundant atmospheric water vapor is by itself the reason our Earth isn't an iceball.

HEHEHEH!

You ever see what happens when water molecules undego a phase change from gas to solid? It ain't pretty, I'm telling you, now. Don't ever visit Pluto in January, Big Guy.

Water vapor isn't gonna save us. The liquid phase might drown us, though.:p

Ozone depletion will exist for many decades or longer. Therefore the problem is solved - because we also consider other facts. Symptoms of that problem will probably take decades to be reversed. But the problem itself has been solved. The world's greatest people - the little people - have been empowered to eliminate reasons for ozone depletion. Ozone layer itself - a symptom - will probably take many decades - maybe many generations - to recover.

But the problem has finally been addressed because political types who were lying - perverting science - were finally silenced. Reasons for ozone depletion and acid rain have been solved or minimized. Symptoms remain. Further actions may be required in the future. Reasons for those symptoms have been addressed (even though George Jr tried to eliminate solutions to acid rain about three years ago).

Meanwhile, lawyers are rewriting science to proclaim global warming does not exist. Demonstrates why problems that can be solved by logic and science are not. Lawyers and MBAs were silenced on acid rain and ozone depletion. The symptoms still remain. But the problem is solved - at least for now.

Are you now a neckrophiliac (you feel something in your neck)?
