There are may scientific theories that also propose a similar structure. Bang, crunch, bang crunch. It's the systems that use the imminent return of their deity to keep people in line that I take issue with. They set dates for the Apocalypse and then when it doesn't come, they say "oh did I say <em>this</em> year? Oh I meant <em>next</em> year.

Sat, 10 Jan 2009 19:52:53 +0000 http://www.ravingsane.com/?p=233#comment-86 One of my earlier memory 40 years ago was my grandmother talking about then end of the world "any day now". My own mother believed The Rapture was coming in 1984. I read books like "The Cross & The Switchblade" and "The Late Great Planet Earth" in junior high.The series "Left Behind" is one of the top selling CHILDREN'S books in the United States. These books are horrifying in their politico/zealot propaganda. There's movies too. Jesus once said "The poor will always be with us." He may as well have substituted the word "ignorant". Just living here in Jesusland. One of my earlier memory 40 years ago was my grandmother talking about then end of the world “any day now”. My own mother believed The Rapture was coming in 1984.

I did not find this to be the case but it's is something to try. Another Idea: Some say that you need to configure Airport so that the Channel option is set to 1 instead of Automatic.
