My 3 1/2 cents: (inflation).

I've been heckling people on the web who were freaking out everytime this new 'The Sky Is Falling' silliness popped up in the headlines.

Are we that frightened of technology?
I remember reading that people claimed we would be gone in an instant with testing and detonating the Hydrogen Bomb way back in the 40's and 50's.

"A weapon that uses the most common element in the universe??!! We set it off and it'll start a chain reaction that'll wipe out the cosmos!!".

I just don't think we are smart enough to pull that off just yet. -And hopefully never will be.

And can't remember the poet but; 'This is how it ends, not with a bang. But a whimper.' -Robert Frost?
