There's always some dude who will move the clock to doomsday and beyond based on religion. Twice or more last year alone. Charlatans, the lot of 'em. But they try to make a buck off of it. The only people worse than the fools who sell this stuff are the people who buy into it. By the way, the mayan calendar, which is the next Y2K/apocalypse type doomsday, is next. See ya in vegas that day, eh?

The doomsday clock could tick for those who feel we should bomb other countries who haven't bombed us. It could tick for those who ignore global warming and other environmental concerns because it throws into sharp relief the interdependence of people on this planet. It could tick for who dismiss anyone who questions the widening gap between rich and poor as 'class warfare', just as imprudent prognosticators in previous generations said the civil rights movement fabricated by communists.

@ LeftBehind:
Evensen already wrote the srticle. What was you comment, again?

@ Hutterite:
Always an opportunity to slam any religion. Why? If you don't believe, then don't believe. It isn't jusy "religionists" messing with the doomsday clock. Al Gore could be seen as a "religious leader". Pagan could be seen as such. Obama, Gingrich, me, but I presume you mean the "God" kind of zealot, as usual. Was I wrong?

You know I don't think the majority of those posting here got the point of this article. It wasn't to discuss the politics of the day, it was to reflect on your own life and how you are living it. If today was your last day here on earth would you regret how you lived it?
