One party or the other has been "destroying the world" in 4-year intervals for 75 years, and guess what? We're all still here.

The trees are green, the fishies are still swimming and the birdies are still chirping.

The moral of the story: Don't believe everything...no, ANYTHING you see or hear on TV, radio, print, or the internet (MEDIA). They're manipulating you for $$$.
