Please Don't Let Us Run Out of Scares!

By Rich Kozlovich

Well, I'm shocked that I made it to the semi-ripe age of 75.  Why? During the course of my life society has faced one life ending crisis after another. There was the nuclear winter, mega-famines, global cooling leading to a new Ice Age, acid rain, bird flu, death by fluoride, cancer from chlorine in my water, one Chernobyl style catastrophe after another, DDT, and all other pesticides, mega-famines, Repetitive Strain Injury, the millennium bug, SARS, Ebola virus, toxic PVC, women became terror stricken over poisonous breast implants, death by fluoride, cancer by chlorine and unknown other substances, BSE beef that would eat our brains, GM food, ADHD, collapse of the world’s economy, running out of oil, gas, silver, tin, uranium, aluminum, copper, lead and zinc, catastrophic floods, plague, pestilence, tornadoes, drought, desolation, endocrine disruption, and anthropogenic global warming.

Shocking how we managed to survive all of these disasters! Oh, wait.......none of those 'disasters' occurred.  Did they? Did I miss them?  Apparently they didn't happen, and I'm shocked, shocked I tell  you.  Wow! Does that mean we can stop worrying and ignore these scares as mere scare mongering? Absolutely not! 

Thankfully we now have Covid 19, in all it's permutations, inflation, economic collapse, conquest by China, Russia or even North Korea, the Taliban, militant Muslim and immigrant invasion and starvation.  Whew, that's a relief.  

There's still hope for a worldwide man made life ending disaster.  Thank goodness! I was afraid we would have to abandon our national penchant for serial panic as a societal paradigm. Whew...that is a relief! For a second there I even thought we might have to start using reason, logic, what we actually see going on in reality, real science and history in our decision making.  

Now that's really scary!  People might actually start reading history books.  We just can't have that!

But not to worry, thank goodness we still have the Main Stream Media to keep us off balance with the ardent support of green activists, leftist misfits of every ilk that hates America, capitalism, humanity in general, and just about everything else, and eventually each other, and their Deep State treasonous minions in the federal bureaucracy. If we didn’t have them can you imagine what a mess it would be with all these people out here walking around without some scare to outrage them?

The worst possible disaster in the world would then be imposed on humanity. The professional scare mongers and social activists would have to go out and get real jobs.   Think about that. 

That truly would be a disaster for that part of the world's population known as "business". You know who I mean. Those people that provide all the jobs and produce all the food and goods we need to survive. Can you imagine what a mess the working world would be in if they were in it?

Environmental and social activism is a wonderful thing. It finds jobs for those who are irrational, misanthropic, morally defective, unemployable, and consistently wrong.  See - there really is a silver lining in everything if we just make an effort to look for it.
