When you get a moment, grab a little quiet time for yourself, snuggle up in your favorite chair and think about all of the interesting things we have to look forward to in our wonderful world. Global warming, pollution, overpopulation, food and water rationing, nuclear, biological and chemical terrorism along with enormous natural, technological and environmental disasters are only a small fraction of the many amazing events we have in store over the next few years!

It gets even better when you consider the fact that the vast majority of these situations were manifested by our insatiable desire to enhance Mother Earth's beauty and improve our otherwise mundane lifestyles! The gleaming malls in our countryside, genetically engineered food, pesticides, spacious SUV's, plastic bags of every size and shape to carry our Chia pets, cosmetics, and other useful and easily disposable items stand as a glowing testament of humanity's genius.

After you thoroughly contemplate all this beauty that we have produced over the last 100 years, you may feel that despite all the incredible benefits, it is far too much of a good thing; and, as the saying goes ... all good things come to an end.

As we can see from recent events right here in our backyard and around the world, this process has already begun.
