There is a school of thought in America that as the world is coming to an

economy in the meantime by taking action to reduce any man-made effect
upon GW.

It was hoped that the film might snap some people out of that particular
stupor.

What stupour would that be Gianna


I think that it's variously called "the rapture" or the "end of days".
Sadly, there are some Americans so religiously deluded that they
believe that AGW, Islamist terrorism, a nuclear Middle East war will
bring about Armageddon so they take a "so-what" attitude.


Thanks for that post - I do not see Looney Larry's posts but that question did
need responding to. I am particularly amused when the people in question state
that their book of revelation tells them that the apocalypse is coming (given
that the book of revelation IS the apocalypse). Anyway, back to rebuilding the
temple ...
