Fried-Day Mailbag; Dear Doc Dan, Stop Bringing Me Down!!!!

Fried-Day, Fried-Day - Fried Day is my favorite day (of the work week). Hello Blog-O-Ronies, and guess what day it is? In India it's फ्रिदय.

Well, let's get to the old mailbag and see what we've got. By the way, send your questions, no matter how stupid, ignorant or inane to:
                            
                             Secret Lair
                             Somewhere in the South Pacific

Dear Doc Dan,

Why are you always bringing me down with talk of the end of the world and pictures of mushroom clouds and skeletons? I'm just a normal guy, living day to day, trying to make ends meet. Stop raining on my parade!

Signed, Charlie Frost

Dear Charlie,

Glad you asked Chaz. Let me put it this way. If we were driving in a car at night down a lonely stretch of road and I knew that the bridge a mile ahead was washed out and no longer there, would you want to know what lay ahead on the road before you or would you wanna find out for yourself, all of a sudden?

In other words, I'm just the lonely Indian (American) out here, warning the ignorant settlers that the weather signs are predicting a severe winter; so get prepared.

You don't have to believe me. I mean, just because the world's billionaires are attempting a secret plan to control rampant over-population because the government doesn't have the balls to do it because it might ruin re-election for them, just because the world contains enough nukes to blast all of us to hell and back again a thousand times and now contains groups of people who actually WANT to use them, just because fresh drinking water is growing short in Africa, pushing that continent to the brink of all out war, just because North and South Korea are rattling nuclear sabers, just because birds, frogs, bats and bees are disappearing with no clues of why, just because the world has run out of money to support the masses on welfare, just because Islam and terrorism are running rampant, just because Mexican drug lords basically control our government (why else the huge government hub-bub over a simple Arizona Illegal alien law?) and the cartels DEFINITELY control our southern border, just because your state has run out of  money to fund parks, medical clinics, schools, roads, transportation, clean water and sewers, just because unemployment is at 10% and shows little signs of recovery, just because banks and major corporations are still on the verge of complete collapse, that's no reason to think that the times might be 'a changin', is it?

I mean really, go out and buy three more big screen TV's made in China and a few cars made in Japan. That'll help stimulate our economy. Buy a bigger house and a few boats too while you're at it. Spend, spend, spend your way out of debt just in time for all of George Bush's tax breaks to expire. Next year at tax time? Uncle Obama's gonna show you why he ran as a democrat.

So yeah, I'm a downer on the immediate future. But you know what? I'm bullish on the far away future. I can't wait for the dead weight of the welfare state to die on the vine. I can't wait for people to snap out of their materialistic coma and realize that life is about survival for the future, not window treatments, dress shoes and gizmos.

The world is changing. Get ready to let go of the old so that you can grab on to the new with both hands. And don't worry, I will be right here beside you as always, telling you what's real and what's stupid. So have no fear, Doc Dan is here!

See you tomorrow, when we'll share "WHAT WE LURNED THIS WEEK" and have a GFD Blog-Fathers.
