I grew up being told to fear nuclear winter, then told to worry about the impending ice age and the holes in the Ozone layer.

I wish they’d make their minds up, otherwise I might to think for myself and they won’t like that.

I think most reasonable people think it’s a good idea to be good stewards of our natural resources, and not to maliciously destroy nature. But sometimes it goes too far…

No joke. And we sang the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands,” except with the altered lyrics: “You’ve got the whole world in YOUR hands.”

Complete with sign language. It was quite a spectacle.

My mother was tremendously annoyed.
