Firestarters
Not that it makes me happy, but my storyline predicts the increase in wildfires and their influence on Californian society (especially a rise in arson). Here's reality backing me up: In Lull, 'Hot Shot' Crews Target Smaller Fires The news story says that this is the biggest evacuation in history (17,000 people in Qualcomm stadium) and that they are investigating whether the fires had human origin. To read some of my chapters that touch on this topic, check out http://sites.google.com/site/runaheadofme/Home/outside-of-forever, chapters 10 through 17 (approximately). And it's not just California. It seems like Australia and Greece and Arizona are having similar problems with disgruntled youth (and others of the arsonist persuasion) and the disenfranchised (immigrants or those denied entry to the U.S.) setting fires as a way of expressing their upset or circumventing authorities.Link to story about Arizona blaze allegedly set by border crossers: http://www.infowars.net/articles/june2007/190607illegals.htmI predict that if France continues to pander to the right wing by banning burqas and other forms of Islamic behavior, then the same thing will start to happen in France. Then Paris will be burning for real.The good thing about being a pessimist is that you're either right or pleasantly surprised... let's hope for the latter.Break out the marshmallows! |
