Hurricane "George"

It's time to name all Hurricanes "George" and to end "Bushwahr 3"

From now on, all hurricanes should be named "George." They can have different numbers. Rita needs to be renamed "George 05-18". The next one will be George 05-19. Next year's first will be George 06-01, etc.
And amidst increasingly huge mass protests to end it, the "War on Terror" also needs a more accurate moniker. It should be "Bushwahr 3."

Cursed by those who come after?
A leading environmentalist and expert on Chaos Theory says that "Small actions now … are more important than big actions later".
Another expert says that this current generation.. ie you and me, us .... is heading in the direction of being cursed by our children. "The generation held responsible will be cursed by those who come after," he says.
In the Sydney Morning Herald this morning, 24/9/05:
"Ill winds that whisper the collapse of civilisation" Mankind is at the edge of an abyss, its very survival dependent on urgent action, warns Tim Flannery. Deborah Smith reports. The hurricanes devastating the American coast are the wake-up call the world needs. Do nothing about climate change, and the collapse of civilisation is "inevitable", according to Dr Tim Flannery.
