It's time to get really scared... really!

A popular tenet of many organized religions is Creation; an omnipotent, omniscient, omni-everything Deity created the Earth. Human beings were the pi�ce de r�sistance of this undertaking. We were put in charge of the planet -- given dominion is the usual phrase -- and told to 'go forth and multiply.'

We've done a really good job with the multiplication, but we've fallen down on general housekeeping. We've fouled the air, polluted the water, poisoned the soil, denuded the forests, killed off thousands of animal species and generally pushed Mother Earth to a premature demise -- at least for us. The planet itself will probably survive; we just won't be alive to enjoy what's left of it.

Wait a minute! Is that the cavalry galloping over that hilltop? Are we going to be saved in the 11th hour? Is BIG SCIENCE going to rescue us from cataclysmic climate change? Yeah, right... wanna buy a bridge?

The Last Peanuts -- RATS!

This (above) is the last original Peanuts strip, published 10 years ago.




Peanuts is a syndicated daily and Sunday comic strip written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, which ran from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000 (the day after Schulz's death), continuing in reruns afterward. The strip is considered to be one of the most popular and influential in the history of the medium, with 17,897 strips published in all, making it "arguably the longest story ever told by one human being," according to Professor Robert Thompson of Syracuse University.

At its peak, Peanuts ran in over 2,600 newspapers, with a readership of 355 million in 75 countries, and was translated into 21 languages. It helped to cement the four-panel gag strip as the standard in the United States, and together with its merchandise earned Schulz more than $1 billion. Reprints of the strip are still syndicated and run in many newspapers.
