Sometimes I lie awake and wonder: will we be able to destroy various dangerous things in time to save them (Social Security, secular government in Iraq, the Bill of Rights…)? The list of things to fear is growing every day. Soon we may all wear Kleenex boxes as we shuffle around our darkened rooms. At least that would speed up airport security checks-- no shoes to scan while the hold fills up with un-inspected freight.
At least the Earth is safe from global warming. Michael Crichton has looked into it, and we have nothing to worry about.
Still the scientists, unaware that novelists and right-wing TV hosts have settled the question, continue to take data and run models. Grant-mongers.
It turns out that “it’s the ocean, stupid.” According to Tim Barnett of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the search for evidence of global warming has tended to focus on the atmosphere, but 90 percent of global warming goes into the Earth's oceans.
At a recent meeting scientists said they have convincing new evidence that ocean temperatures are rising enough to have alarming consequences, such as species extinction and disruption of deep ocean currents. Whiners. We don't need no stinking sea birds, and what has the Gulf Stream done for us lately?
"This is perhaps the most compelling evidence yet that global warming is happening right now”, said Barnett, “the debate… is over at least for rational people."
He doesn’t know George W. Bush.

I know this is going to sound crazy if you've never heard it before - but everything in this world - everything - is controlled by one thing - our relationship with the force that created everything in the first place - all these things are coming to a head in our time to direct us to the purpose of our being - because when everything is perfect you don't stop to ask youself, What is the meaning of my life?
So you can go on lying awake at night and being afraid - or you can take an active part in accelerating the natural processes that mankind has to go through - and by the way - these are internal processes that affect everything outside of us and around us.
Scientists have completely hit the wall and run out of answers a long time ago - that is because they have reached a point that they can't see beyond - only people with access to the upper world can teach them how to get past that point and that is exactly what the kabbalist Michael Laitman is doing right now with world-class nobel prize winning scientists all over the world.
The earth is safe from nothing - the Creator - or the single law ruling the entire universe will stop at nothing to wake us all up and get us on the right track - everything up till now was done by Him and now it's our turn to make the only truly independent move we can in this world - learn to be exactly like the force that created us. That's what we were put here for.

Since the time still not can be explained or realy understood its kinda cool as i see it.All of worldhistory led up to this glorious moment(or passing moments -damn time to be so hard)and we travel the same time as Buddha, Jesus, and all the morons.
SO EVERYTHING IS AS GOOD AS IT MAY AND THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY SMASHING BRILLIANT!
But a day to Brahman is 30 000 years and the Tibetian monks wrote their book of the dead many many years before George W and his nuts started row this boat as now, and truth then in such matters probably still is´true.So with the word of Bob Marley: "dont fear atomic energy cause none of them can stop the time" but we ´seem to live 1000s of lifes until we can brake out of karmas wheel but how to get back home the highest unknown is not yet undersood,Its still in the invisible as everything was before it jumped out and bit us in the rompus.
