Opportunity and Disaster

Oh oh. The headline read "Massive Solar Storm to Hit Earth in 2012". Will a repeat of the 1859 Carrington event wipe out the world's electrical grids and have us living like 18th century folk? Some people are worried that Solar Cycle 24 could bring a "perfect storm" to earth in 2013. Should we be worried?

Well kids, we're lucky if meteorologists can get the weather forecast right for next week. Astronomers can't predict sunspots or coronal mass projections days ahead. So what we're talking about here is statistical prophecy. The witches' promise.

It's funny how the US and mankind are facing economic doom right now, yet it is Mayan prophecies and chances of solar flares that capture man's attention. Yes Linda there is a tiny chance that our star could fart and fry our electrical grids. But there's a much higher probability that Obama and his gang have torched our economy so badly that our grandchildren will live third world lifestyles. Perhaps their grandchildren as well.

In any event, whatever happens will provide opportunity to those who dare and disaster to those sit around hoping for "the one we've been waiting for".

As always...buy more ammo and get some range time in.
