    How many times has it been the end of the world? When I was a kid, it was the Cold War, every day the newspapers had articles about how we were on the verge of nuclear war. Famine was another, there was not enough water for the crops. There was AIDS, we were all going to get ill and die of Kaposi’s Sarcoma. There’s got to be a list of these somewhere…
