The First Day

Trying to find out what it was that so freaked me out the other day. I guess it was just the overwhelming feeling that so many people in power (Congressmen/Senators) just do not care about how much they allow the Earth to be depleated, destroyed and drained. Add that attitude to increasing (and they are) natural disasters and that's a freak out recipe.
I've always been a person who is able to look objectively at matters of the destruction of the world so why does this strike me as different and more real? It could be just because nothing else has ever happened. We got by 2000 and 2001, 1984 came without the obvious specter of Big Brother (he just showed up later in a different form) so I became colplacent about prophesy. Who wouldn't?
I spent a great deal of time studying (cramming) because I have students who may be on the verge of panic. That didn't help me much. There's still nothing that can be done if something happens.
Just like in the movie, the government would not tell us anything if they knew that a disaster of biblical proportions was about to happen. They would, indeed, covertly try to save people who can afford a trip to something like a space hotel or a trip to space or even a seat on the ark.
It has been estimated by some that the earth is overpopulated and that is a reason for this prophesied disaster. Another theory is that our societies have just become too depraved and greedy for us to exist any longer. Yet another thoery is that the giant planet Nibiru is going to crash into the Earth again. (Yes, again.) And then it might just be nature.
Whatever the reason; I know that I do not have a ticket and I know that nobody's planning to give me or anybody I know a ticket.
