The rightwingers, the religious cults and some of us who are fascinated with prophecies and Nostradamus have felt some kind of need for the apocalypse. I think perhaps it is a response to the kind of God archetype we have created. Maybe we want some kind of mass happening to prove that there truly is a God and he/it is not finished with us.
So what do you think? Is it enough to see New Orleans destroyed, her people torn asunder, the gulf towns of Mississippi leveled almost completely to satisfy that primal scream of connection with that God archetype? And in Iraq where almost 1000 people have killed each other in fear, is that enough?
What else is needed to complete the picture that we are all connected both with each other, with God (whatever your own view of that is) and our earth?
