Article Directory :: Politics & Government Articles Chicken Little Went to Town-Part 2 By Bailey Stone Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 27May2010 Word count: 542 Viewed: 390 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site During the Deluge According to Al Gore, the oceans will rise up and swamp the arid precincts of Kansas and Missouri. We'll be fishing for trout off ledges in the Rockies, and there will be beachfront property high in the Appalachian Mountains. Suntan enthusiasts will compete with moonshiners for the best spots to spread out. On the other hand, everywhere will be heard a discouraging word. It will be too hot for the deer and the antelope to play - they’ll go lie down in the shade somewhere. We won’t be Home on the Range anymore; the range will be burned to a crispy cinder. This is what Al has been saying. And who’s to say he isn’t right? Who can prove it? Sure, it’s true that the 70's version of the story - global cooling - hasn’t come to pass just yet. But so what? Just because the Earth First crowd and the UN Global Commissions for Getting People to Stop All This Exhaling have been wrong every other time doesn’t mean they have it wrong again. Does it? This isn't over, and it never will be. The globe will be cooling and warming and cooling again until the end of time, and nobody will ever be able to prove that it's not our fault. Surely every blink of the human eye is a horrible affront to Nature. It must be so. What else are we to think, when there are surely too many of us for our own good; when our very existence fouls the land and the water, and every breath we exhale helps convert the oceans to a boiling, toxic stew? Or so say Chicken Little, and Henny Penny, and Cocky Locky, and Goosey Poosey. And Al. Al’s Global Scolding Tour is just the latest in a never-ending parade of schemes designed to get us all to wipe our feet before we go outside so we don’t get Nature all dirty - or better yet, to take off our shoes so we stop scuffing up the planet. From the pressing need for Zero Population Growth through The Late Great Planet Earth, from the murderous hole in the ozone layer to global cooling to global warming - right through to whatever comes next - stalwart nags like Al have been telling us all that WE are the problem for so long, we reflexively roll over and beg for forgiveness, and for further instruction on how to do better - how to leave a smaller, lighter ‘footprint’ upon the sad and angry face of the Earth. The Earth hates us; we know that now, thanks to Al and his friends. Yes, fish befoul the water with their effluvium, while bears are rumored to do this or that in the woods and never give it a thought. But fish and bears are part of Nature, whereas we are... something else. Aren’t we? Besides, there's money in this thing. Companies like the ones Al is invested in can sell "carbon credits" the way the Vatican used to sell Papal indulgences, and who's the wiser? Saving the world while making a great, glittering pile of cash - what could be better than that?

• Francisco Madero's Path to Revolution (Robert Nickel)
  In 1911, after thirty-five years of dictatorial rule by president Porfirio Diaz, the Mexican people had had enough. Angry, fed up and bitter at the administration's corruption, they were incited to rise up and revolt after that year's election, when popular newcomer Francisco Madero "lost" the presidential race in a stunningly obvious case of electoral fraud. This was the beginning of the Mexican Revolution...

• The Incredible Work of Benito Juarez (Robert Nickel)
  A great deal of Mexico's liberal reforms in the 19th century - the separation of church and state, the proclamation of all citizens as equal in the eyes of the law and the establishment of a market-driven social system, among other things, would not have been possible without the leadership of Benito Juarez. Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important...

• The Battle Of Puebla And Cinco De Mayo (Robert Nickel)
  Why does the United States celebrate every May 5, or Cinco de Mayo?

The roots of these festivities go back to the French invasion in 1862, and a decisive initial victory against Napoleon III's forces.

• Agustin I: The First Mexican Emperor (Robert Nickel)
  The First Emperor of Mexico's regime was the first attempt at a Spain-free governing structure, and it failed fairly quickly. His reign had lasted roughly ten months before collapsing, and while it didn't accomplish a great deal in terms of infrastructure, it marked the true start of the divide between the centrist conservative and the democratic liberal political parties.

• How Maximilian I Became Emperor Of Mexico (Robert Nickel)
  It might not be a commonly known fact, but Mexico was, at two separate points, a monarchy; each reign lasted less than five years and was filled with revolts, infighting, and puppet rulers. The first Mexican Empire took place shortly after the country won its independence from Spain in 1821, but collapsed less than eight months after its establishment. The second attempt was the result of Napoleon III's invasion in 1862...

• All About the Reform Wars (Robert Nickel)
  In the years following Mexico's War of Independence, a question arose among the newly freed citizens as to how the newly free nation should be governed. Two ideologies emerged: the liberals wished to establish a democratic, secular government with a constitution similar to that of the United States of America...

• The Reign And Downfall Of Mexico's Last Emperor (Robert Nickel)
  When Napoleon III invaded Mexico in 1862, he had the support of certain members of the country's conservative party. Politically, the republic had been wracked with civil war and disputes over ideological reform, and the Imperialists wished to return to a monarchy. The French put the Austrian Archduke Maximilian on the throne in 1864; his reign lasted just over three years...

• Who Was Empress Carlota? (Robert Nickel)
  For a very brief period of time in Mexico's long and turbulent history, they were ruled by Emperor Maximilian I and his consort, Empress Carlota. This regime was doomed to end in a bloody manner almost from the start, as they had been crowned after an invasion by France and were stuck in between an unfairly deposed liberal party and the conservative conspirators who disliked their practices.
