It's quite possible Frank (And who could blame him, really), but she strikes me as the kind of person who would absorb and get spun up by all the '2012 doomsday' hype, and her increasingly-apocalyptic view of politics may just be symptomatic of the slipping grip on reality of another middle-aged End-o'-the-Worlder.
Agree. The most entertaining time I've ever had on the innertubes was in 1999, on several forums dedicated to Y2K crazies. Their craziness easily approached that of the DUmp, and there were swarms of apocalyptic lunatics like know-it-all nadinbrzhzhzhzhski. As 12/31/99 approached, many of them were nearly incapacitated by fear. For normal people, it was hilarious, and you could have a ball trolling. I'd love to read what know-it-all nadin was saying in December '99.
Y2K, for a short time, was as profitable a hoax as global warming. But after a few billion dollars were wasted, 1/1/00 arrived, and the hoax was exposed. Global warming can't generate such a frenzy, but over a period of years it will be far more profitable for the scammers.
