Chicken Little

Twenty-five percent of Americans think that Jesus will return within 2007. Who are these rubes? On the surface this just seems like another silly statistic. However if you consider that the return of Jesus is to be in conjunction with the end of the world you really have to question how this 25% views the secular world. Why should they care about the environment? Why should they care about diplomatic solutions to world conflicts? Overpopulation certainly wouldn't be of concern. One wonders if they are running up their credit cards, taking out second and third mortgages on their homes, and cashing in their IRA's. Though I have no proof I would think that a vast majority of this 25% voted for Republicans. How odd.
