Henny Penny, Look Out!
I’m beginning to think this Age of Information is giving way to a twisted Age of Chicken Little. Issues bubble up from seemingly nowhere, fester, pop and then disappear. Oil prices rise and fall on the political fortunes of barely 3rd world countries. We panic but don’t bother to ween ourselves of our SUVs, subdivisions and plastic bottles. Horrendous blizzards and killing droughts sweep the globe but here we sit, glad it’s 70 for two weeks in February.
The irony is that the sky really is falling but we’re too worried about our Facebook security settings and The Sanctity of Marriage to do anything about it. We deserve whatever we get.
