Death toll in China earthquake up to 15,000 and counting.

Might this be the start of the TEOTWAWKI scenario that we've all been hoping for? Fire consuming the Earth, pestilence...we can't leave out bacillary and amoebic dysentery. What about bubonic plague? It's been making a comeback in the third world of late, it seems.

ReplyDeleteThey're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain. There's hurricanes in Florida, and Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls. The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch. And I don't like anybody very much!
But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud, for man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day, someone will set the spark off... and we will all be blown away.
They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran. What nature doesn't do to us... will be done by our fellow man.
