None of Us are Free - AN ESTIMATED 1 MILLION PEOPLE ARE LEFT HOMELESS WITH A RISING DEATH TOLL. THIS IS THE WORST NATURAL DISASTER SINCE THE BOXING DAY TSUNAMI IN 2004. CYCLONE NARGIS HAS DEVASTATED LARGE AREAS OF BURMA. WHOLE TOWNS AND VILLAGES HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT BY THE CYCLONE, WHICH ROARED FOR TEN HOURS, TEARING OFF ROOFS, UPROOTING TREES AND DESTROYING POWER LINES. MOST OF THE VICTIMS OF THE BURMA CYCLONE WERE OVERWHELMED BY A 12FT MOVING WALL OF WATER THAT BORE DOWN ON THEIR LOW LYING VILLAGES AT THE MOUTH OF THE IRRAWADDY RIVER DELTA.

False prophets of doom - In 1968, Paul Ehrlich, Vice President Gore's hero and mentor, predicted there would be a major food shortage in the U.S. and "in the 1970s ... hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death." Ehrlich said 65 million Americans would die of starvation between 1980 and 1989, and by 1999 the U.S. population would have declined to 22.6 million. Ehrlich's predictions about England were gloomier: "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."

The Dumbing Of America - "The mind of this country, taught to aim at low objects, eats upon itself." Ralph Waldo Emerson offered that observation in 1837, but his words echo with painful prescience in today's very different United States. Americans are in serious intellectual trouble -- in danger of losing our hard-won cultural capital to a virulent mixture of anti-intellectualism, anti-rationalism and low expectations.

Start a Fire Without Matches - There is a primal link between man and fire. Every man should know how to start one. A manly man knows how to start one without matches. It’s an essential survival skill. You never know when you’ll find yourself in a situation where you’ll need a fire, but you don’t have matches. Maybe your single engine plane goes down while you’re flying over the Alaskan wilderness, like the kid in Hatchet. Or perhaps you’re out camping and you lose your backpack in a tussle with a bear. It need not be something as dramatic at these situations-even extremely windy or wet conditions can render matches virtually uselessly. And whether or not you ever need to call upon these skills, it’s just damn cool to know you can start a fire, whenever and wherever you are.
