Remember all of the talk about how this was going to be the worst hurricane season ever? Well, the end of hurricane season is a week from tomorrow and I am definitely under the impression it wasn't the worst.
There was an increase in storms in the Pacific and a decrease in the Atlantic (the inverse was true in 2005). DAMN YOU GLOBAL WARMING FOR LETTING US DOWN AND NOT LETTING US USE YOU AS A CAUSE! -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

naw it's not global warming, it's because Bush didn't get bored enough to press the "UNLEASH HURRICANES ONTO THE GULF COAST!!" button.

It's a pity. A bad hurricane season would've given me more of an excuse to decline that job in Houston.

it's just paranoia
"holy shit, if you thought this year s was bad, just wait til next year" happens all the time cause people want to be informed, which means next year when hurricane season starts the news is going to have a 'special report' or 'breaking news' evertime a goddamn tropical storm forms in the middle of the atlantic. then they'll cut to it's targeted area and see if the mayor/gov. is going to call for an evacuation of the city. then they'll cut to the gas stations showing people stocking up on supplies and gas and other shit. then they'll cut to those who will be 'braving out the storm'. -------------------- |

Two words: El Nino
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

No, I can understand that stuff. I don't have a problem with that because it's just hysteria. What pisses me off is the "renowned" scientists making the global warming claims and then nothing. I'm glad we didn't get hit hardcore but these "experts" just need to keep their mouths shut when they don't know what they're talking about. Just like Dr. Gonzo pointed out, El Nino baby... Ya never know what it's going to do. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
