The Sky is Falling

Here in California, we live in a perpetual state of bad news. Nothing is ever good and we should not dare for a minute think that it is. The weather is a prime example.

It has been raining a lot here the past month (this is the Earth, things like rain happen). Even though this is the most rain we've have in a long time, we are told "Whoa.. wait a second. By no means does this mean that the drought is over. You must still conserve. Don't let me catch you breathing a sigh of relief".

Last summer, there were plenty of fires. We were told it was because of the "severe drought conditions plaguing southern California brought on by the onset of global warming and other bad things caused by the Repulican administration of your choice". Isn't rain the common cure for a drought?

This morning, the radio was telling me that all this rain was going to create the "worst fire conditions in years" because of all the lush, thick growth. This is the same lush, thick growth that stablizes hillsides, creates the oxygen we breathe, and helps to clean the air. So now the rain is bad? What about the "severe drought conditions"?

The bottom line is this: liberals generally do not want you to be happy. When you are unhappy, you are much easier to be controlled and have your opinion swayed. You are much more willing to fork over your hard-earned money in the form of higher taxes. From the weather to the economy, don't ever expect to hear good news from the mainstream media.
