The Rapture
Monday 27th, March '06, in the evening, after work.
All day I was thinking about the chat I had with this lovely lady I know, who is very religious. ‘Respect’ by the way.
I was saying how I hoped politicians could turn our World around. She laughed, she said how it had already been predicted, God will save the faithful from the inevitable armageddon. Anyone feel religious all of a sudden!

'The Rapture' all sounds rather jolly, then that's because it's when God reveals himself to the faithful, by wiping out all the sinners in one deft and somehow selective stroke, thereby letting the good guys live on to rebuild a purer society. Sounds hopeful (with a bit of notice).
Trouble is, they also reckon it SHOULD happen. So they WANT the Rapture to be brought on! That's not Green at all (although it would probably work!)
Me, I define 'The Rapture' in more realistic terms, i.e. Irreversible Climate Change.

If Einstein could have had a car bumper sticker - what would it be?
The above image is the answer, which I think is the inspired winner of this online competition. I first heard this classic slogan at a Joan Baez concert recently. She liked it so much, a true protest singer that she always has been, she imparted this gem (of an internet search phrase) to us. I can't forget it. Funny, yet TRAGIC.
