As we near the year 2000 there is an unprecedented amount of cultism, fear of technology, rejection of science, religious terrorism and alien-invasion films. All the ingredients for Armageddon. The turn of the millennium is a profitable time for the soothsayers of doom with their prophecies of Biblical wrath. The end of the world could be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Gods don't kill people, people kill people.
Chances are they face the same kinds of fallibilities that humans do.
Failing economies, political unrest, social strife and the Psychic Friends Network all wastefully sucking up money and creativity, and undermining the potential for more productive ventures. But come 2001, the soothsayers of doom had best be looking for real jobs. Copyright 1997 by the Iowa State Daily Publications Board. All rights reserved.
