Signs of the end times

T.S. Elliot, when asked by an interviewer one time to give an example of the kind of thing that would signal the collapse of civilization, paused for a moment and then suggested random murders.

I agree, and would also add tuba thefts and Barack Obama having an approval rating anywhere north of 20%.

Well......there's also the brass the instruments are made of. The theft of metals that can sold for "recycling" (copper, aluminum, steel, etc) tends to rise when the economy slumps. Brass is another metal that can fetch a good price.

I'm sorta raining on your parade, Paco, but it's the engineer in me!

Engineers can make rain? Who knew!

I don't know about the signs but a second term for Obama with a Democratic majority in the Senate WOULD BE the end times!
