After living through more Doomsday scenarios than I can remember, I no longer take their predictions seriously. They have lost their credibility. <br /><br />I recall being in third grade, learning about the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. No one bothered to tell us how huge it is. They told us that if logging continued at its current rate, there wouldn't be an Amazon in twenty years. Though twenty years seemed like a long time to a nine year old, I was nonetheless dismayed and angry with the evil loggers and farmers who were chopping down nature for profit. <br /><br />I was in third grade twenty-three years ago. The Amazon is still there. What happened?<br /><br />CarlitoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
