on second thought the whole article hularions

Sure it would be tough on those where it landed, but you know, the earth is mostly ocean and so it will likely just cause a big splash somewhere. Only 0.00001% of earth's area will be directly hit. The suggested IPCC approach and its expense is out of all proportion to the danger. Asteroid impacts are a natural process. Without them we would still be fighting for space with dinosaurs.”

build the space barrier!
its obvious these alien meteors have no
respect for boundaries

Meanwhile, several prominent scientists including a nobel laureate biologist have noted that no technology was yet available to deflect the asteroid and “since when has spending time and money trying to solve problems ever achieved anything. We would be better off digging some deep caves”.

John Cooke.
The "yeah I know climate gate exposed me as a fraud, but a guys got to make a living" guy.
I put him right up there with L. Ron Hubbard in the area of goofy religion creation.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

One of my favorite "it's funny because it's way too close to the truth" movies. I don't think the situation is all that better today, though: bombs and missiles are still out there waiting to be used, even if today's generation has forgotten about them.

It is amazing

For as rapacious as governments act
& as dumb we allow our rhetoric to take us

still

we haven’t blown ourselves to smithereens (beehive)

I really don’t know how to account for this? (what)

It almost as if we have some divine license
to do as we damn well please…
truly the blessed species…

Isn't that an allosaurus? Weren't they extinct long before the asteroid struck?
