Danger

   Have you ever noticed the dangerous times we live in? Have you noticed how close to death we are? Just watch the television machine for awhile and you'll see.
   I just love when the tease for the evening news is, "Do you know about the danger lurking in your own home? Find out on Channel X News at 6!" They just can't help but scare you into watching their broadcast. The funny thing is that this phenomonon is spreading.
   Tune to the Discovery Channel. Tornados, earthquakes, and floods threaten everyone! There's a program about a supervolcano on National Geo. that indicates that Yellowstone is about to blow up any minute now. Oh, and don't forget about meteors.
   The best stuff is on the Science Channel. You need to be prepared for this because we know this will happen - you probably learned about it in grade school. Eventually the sun will begin to die, and when that happens it will expand and consume the earth! But if that doesn't happen first, the Andromeda Galaxy is on a collision course with the Milky Way. The program that discusses that seems to indicate that cities will be upside down when that happens.
   So I guess the moral of the stories is to have some duct tape and plastic tarps ready to barricade yourself in the house. Oh, and a fire extinguisher to put out the sun when it reaches the earth.
