well seriously, i think i´m, just a little skeptical about this.
i´d need to see all of this evidence myself before i start to panic.
but thank you goddess, this is a fantastic article... albeit a tad over the top.

I assume the geographical beauty of the area we call Yellowstone is due to the last erruption. I mean look at Hawaii. Totally built on volcanic erruptions. Lush, green, steamy environment that flourished because of the lava and rebirth of the land.
Sure the article is a tad over the top. It was taken from a fella who writes about the end of Earth as we know it. As stated, this erruption could happen today, tommorow or 1,000 years from now.
Personally, I will be dissapointed if I don't get to see it. But I am very weird and have no children to think of.
Life certainly would not be the same. We would cease to think of birth control as a good thing for once. Loving your neighbor would be MUCH easier to do, etc...
I think it's an eye-opening discovery for myself, that we, in fact, are NOT invincible. Thank God.
To me it's just food for thought.
In fact, this circumstance has caused me to have a better attitude toward my fellow man, simply because I know that time is of the essence, now. Many people know that already.
It's put life and death into a very different perspective for me.
We young people think that things are terrible when we can't make a bill on time (granted, I don't plan on slacking in that area because of a probable situation). We think it's horrible that we can't keep up with the latest fashions, no matter how hard we try, or the latest bands....whatever.
But there is something far beyond paying bills, looking cool and making money.
...just my .02.
