The computer bug was just a rehearsal for the Big One. It was a rehearsal not just for physical preparation, but more importantly, spiritual preparation. Some of us who explored this in advance of Y2K are more ready than others, but there is still time.

This time it is not just "the end of the world as we know it," but rather the "End of Life on Earth," or "ELE". Oddly enough, the same acronym is used for "Exctintion Level Event," which is exactly where our anthropogenic global warming is taking us. It is likely to cause the exctinction of nearly all Earth life forms within the next 30 years, with the exception of some extremely impervious strains of bacteria and microorganisms.

Those who have floodproof airtight basements may postpone the inevitable, but they will only survive for as long as they have supplies. Enough food for dozens of years could easily be stored, but the problem this time will be clean water, and air to breathe. Anywhere above the surface will eventually become toxic and uninhabitable, as the climate changes become more and more severe over the next several years.

Of course as this becomes more and more apparent, many humans will kill each other off to get what they think they need and don't have. Many will simply choose to take their own lives, rather than threaten others or go through a slow agonizing death.

Do not fear though, we have experienced the physical world and learned from our experience, as it was meant to be. A much more wonderful existence awaits us as we move into the realm of the spiritual, our consciousness free to explore any experience we can imagine, without the burdens of physical reality.

Best wishes for all of Us, children of the Creator.

LOL! I see we have a long way to go in the area of spiritual preparation!

Well then run down to Arby's order a Big Montanna and ask for a cup of water. Duh! Dope Slap Upside The Forehead.

LOL! That sounds like the kind of response I would expect from a typical dumb American!

But what will you do AFTER the Arby's has been essentially vaporized?

I think you just redefined the meaning of your own word... Duuuh!!

You people aren't getting it yet, it's not sinking in. The denial is so thick around here you could cut it with a knife.

Navi's post has value. I learned a new word---"anthropogenic". It's a fun word. I hope to use it often. The problem with it is that it is so anthropocentric.
