Well, the big snow storm blew in last night. The one we were all afraid would have us trapped in our houses. It was about three inches...This morning i found myself upset about the false weather predictions i've heard. Then i chided myself for being so ridiculous as to be upset about such a silly thing. Why would i be upset simply because folks once again exaggerated a bad weather forecast?
Soon i realized that it had little to do with the weather at all. Instead i had found a loose connection between the fear of weather conditions and the exaggerated spiritual and political fears that are constantly bombarding our conservative talk shows and infiltrating our casual conversations.
A whole lot of apocalyptic hype of the horrors to come because of this law or that politician...and then three inches.
It's a disappointment really. Our fear filled imaginations are much more vivid and exciting than the mundane reality.
