It's the same thing with contries that arnt used to snow ~
Take a good ol' winter from sweden, place it in... let say... italy, dont even have to be italy just some place that usally dont get that cold or get that much snow, or something similar crasy, alot of people would die from being stupid.
I guess darwin was right again ~ the strongest once survives, here the strongest once are those that know something vaubale~
Personally I like living in sweden, we have hade one hurrican during the past 50 years I think... and we still didnt run out screaming and driving up to the northen part of our country ~
But even if I never will be in one probally I thank you for your lecture in "know your hurricane" Somehow and somewhere I am sure this will be a life-saver~

I'm living in Sweden in my next life.

Darwin had it cold...unfortunately, this country has people who teach their children Creationism and scorn Darwinism.

I hope those people are the first to go.

Ya... alot of the big religions here in Sweden however co-exist with Darvinism~
However they dont know what the heck Darvinism is -.-;
I'm reading religion in school this year~ We are visiting diffrent religions and learn alot of stuff about them so we wont do something stupid and offend people later in life ~ and its fun to know why people do serten stuff.
Really great class ^^
However my view on christian people have gone from Neutral to Stupid fcks.

Yeah Doc, I concur with you on the Darwin. I have gone on about it before on my Corner of the World and will not take up space here. However, our society is swinging back towards the religious horse blinds that we went through in the 80's. We will see more court cases having to do with keeping science out of the schools.

Isn't odd that in Texas, the lowest scores on the TAKS test were science scores?

Oh, man...I though I was a wacko on Red Bull....

That was too funny. The imagery of the Epic War of Mangiazilla is the best thing to come out of this mess. I wish I could be that clever on a caffeine high.

Hehehehehe. I really need to lay off the sodas before lunchtime. :)

On a serious note, thanks for the perspective. I make fun, but this town freaks out when there are small patches of ice on the road. Austin can handle heat and flooding. Anything else leads to a mass hysteria of epic proportions.

We're just temporory, whether we like it or not.

Great Lesson! anonymous September 26 2005, 07:33:40 UTC
Thanks for the weather lesson! We had a similiar experience a little further south. Getting gas on Weds and Thurs was joke. People were lining up like there was not going to be a tomorrow. Trying to find bottled water was difficult as well.

Panic and lack of common sense go together.

No matter how many times the local weather dudes kept telling us that there was nothing to worry about, the lines kept growing and local functions were being canceled. I know, better safe than sorry.
