Have you heard about ???

Am I the only one who remembers all the pseudoscientific screaming about the "New Ice Age" in the late 1960's and the 1970's???

Now the chicken littles all have grabbed and embraced Glow Bull Worming as the "Major Threat" to the world.

The last one was Lysenkoism, pushed by the Soviet Communists whereby they claimed proof of IMMEDIATE inheritance of acquired charateristics. Before that, it was the horrid spectre of an "infected gene pool" that led to sontrolled genocide and, eventually to the European Holocaust.

"They killed Jesus Christ, didden they?" whined the other thug.

"The HAIL, you say!!!" the two imbeciles hollered, in unison, "We just heard about it at the camp meeting last night !!!!
