Falling Sky

Apparently, the sky is falling. How long has this been going on for? Is this a recent development, or has it been falling continuously throughout human history? Has it's rate of decent accelerated? How long until it hits the ground? I mean, It's gotta be running out room fast.

Or maybe the media wants you to think the sky is falling... But what if it's really the ground that's rising?

Hmm, the "media" has apparently grown quite expansive, including such things as a sizable chunk of posters on RF, and pretty much most other people you run into on the street. I wonder when that happened.

AS Chicken-licken was going one day to the wood, whack! an acorn fell from a tree
on to his head.

"Gracious goodness me!" said Chicken-licken, "the sky must have fallen; I must go
and tell the King."

So Chicken-licken turned back, and met Hen-len. "Well, Hen-len, where are you
going ?" said he. "I'm going to the wood," said she.

"Oh, Hen-len, don't go!" said he, "for as I was going the sky fell on to my head, and
I'm going to tell the King."

So Hen-len turned back with Chicken-licken, and met ****-lock.

"I'm going to the wood," said he.

Then Hen-len said:' "Oh ****-lock, don't go, for I was going, and I met Chicken-licken, and Chicken-licken had been at the wood, and the sky had fallen on to his head, and we are going to tell the King."

So ****-lock turned back, and they met Duck-luck. "

Well, Duck-luck, where are you going?"

And Duck-luck said: "I'm going to the wood."

Then ****-lock said: "Oh! Duck-luck, don't go, for I was going, and I met Hen-len,
and Hen-len met Chicken-licken, and Chicken-licken had been at the wood, and the
sky had fallen on to his head, and we are going to tell the King." So Duck-luck turned
back,and met Drake-lake.

"Well, Drake-lake, where are you going?"
And Drake-lake said: "I'm going to the wood."

Then Duck-luck said: "Oh! Drake-lake, don't go, for I was going, and I met ****-lock, and ****-lock met Hen-len, and Hen-len met Chicken-licken, and Chicken-licken
had been at the wood, and the sky had fallen on to his head, and, we are going to tell
the King."

So Drake-lake turned back, and met Goose-loose. "Well, Goose-loose, where are
you going?" And Goose-loose said: "I'm going to the wood."

Then Drake-lake said: "Oh, Goose-loose, don't go, for I was going, and I met Duck-
luck, and Duck-luck met ****-lock, and ****-lock met Hen-len, and Hen-len met
Chicken-licken, and Chicken-licken had been at the wood, and the sky had fallen on to
his head, and we are going to tell the King." So Goose-loose turned back, and met
Gander-lander.

"Well, Gander-lander, where are you going ?"

And Gander-lander said: "I'm going to the wood."

Then Goose-loose said: "Oh! Gander-lander, don't go, for I was going, and I met
Drake-lake, and Drake-lake met Duck-luck, and Duck-luck met ****-lock, and ****-
lock met Hen-len, and Hen-len met Chicken-licken, and Chicken-licken had been at the
wood, and the sky had fallen on to his head, and we are going to tell the King."

So Gander-lander turned back, and met Turkey-lurkey.

"Well, Turkey-lurkey, where are you going?"
And Turkey-lurkey said: "I'm going to the wood."

Then Gander-dander said: "Oh! Turkey-lurkey, don't go, for I was going, and I met
Goose-loose, and Goose-loose met Drake-lake, and Drake-lake met Duck-luck, and
Duck-luck met ****-lock, and ****-lock met Hen-len, and Hen-len met Chicken-licken,
and Chicken-licken had been at the wood, and the sky had fallen on to his head, and
we are going to tell the King."

So Turkey-lurkey turned back, and walked wiith Gander-lander, Goose-loose, Drake-
lake, Duck-luck, ****-lock, Hen-len, and Chicken-licken. And as they were going along, they met Fox-lox. And Fox-lox said:

"Where are you going ?"

And they said: "Chicken-licken went to the wood, and the sky fell on to his head, and
we are going to tell the King."

And Fox-lox said: "Come along with me, and I will show you the way." But Fox-lox took them into the fox's hole, and he and his young ones soon ate up poor Chicken-licken, Hen-len, ****-lock, Duck-luck, Drake-lake, Goose-loose,' Ganderdander, and Turkey-lurkey; and they never saw the King to tell him that the sky had fallen.

The sky is falling. This is clearly a result of people turning away from His Noodly Goodness and embracing the evil that is science.

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the overwhelming evidence of very hard times ahead (peak oil, global warming, population peak, water shortage and the likely impact of these converging factors on the food supply and global economy). Being aware helps us prepare. You growing your own veggies yet? Food is going to get very expensive this winter.

Yeah, well I suppose there wouldn't be anything wrong with discussing those scenarios, their potential effects, and possible ways of dealing with these problems.

True, but taken together, they sort of suggest the sky kind of IS falling, or at least that the ground is collapsing. Probably. But it's going to take a pretty long time, so there's no need to panic.

I think the OP was originally directed at people panicking at a lot less than the ideas you brought up.

Ah so. My panic threshold is quite high compared to most. I'm going to wait for the famine to creep into nuclear-armed, right wing, religious nations, then panic. By that time, though, I hope to be nearly self-sufficient.
