Fear

The human race lives in a constant state of irrational fear.  Forty years ago the media was in a frenzy because of a slight decrease in earth's average temperature. They made outlandish claims that the our planet was going to freeze. This may sound ridiculous to our generation, but four decades ago people were seriously panicking because nobody wanted to be a Popsicle! Today the media claims mankind might actually melt due to slight increases in temperature. In the popular documentary "An Inconvenient Truth"politician Al Gore compares the world's entire population to a frog, and global warming to a pot of boiling water. He claims that if no action is take the frog or the six billion people on this planet will boil.  This is a bit extreme. Let's be realistic, shall we? Global warming would actually prove beneficial to the frog population or earth's people, because warmer temperatures mean more insects, more crops. This is simply logical, but sadly in fear there is no logic. Yes, we are in a "state of fear" but as Franklin D. Roosevelt so wisely said "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."
