Sleepwalking into disaster, the human race appears to have crossed the point of no return in more than one area:
- The American people are playing with fire by supporting religious extremist and political dunce Sarah Palin - and they will get burned.
- In the process they may also burn a considerable portion of the rest of the world.
- Synchronously, the financial system gets the last, gentle push over the abyss; hungry and poor people will provide lots of excuses for fascism - some will even ask for it.
- The climate is acting up, as it usually does during this time of the year, but the Sun is not behaving according to expected cycles, and together with a few clues here and there, we wonder if something in the cosmic/geophysical system has not changed for good.
