Luckily these people are easy to = spot....They are the ones with their asses in the air and their heads in = the sand. An impact will occur, I am no scientist but I am smart enough to know = that it will happen, and wise enough to know it will probably catch us = earthlings off guard. Living in Arizona and having been to see our = crater, I also know that big or small an impact will not be a laughing = matter. If we are all lucky it will hit an ocean and spare humanity, if = we are not so lucky it may be alot worse. The sad thing is that humans can get so arrogent about their = intelligence and technology, thinking we have all the answers. Mother = nature and the universe cares little about technology and cares even = less about intelligence. We humans in Arizona and Colorado are = witnessing that first hand. For all or our intelligence and all of our = technology we stand nearly powerless as fire rips through our states. We = have used fire for 1000's of years, some say that mastering the use of = fire helped our specie evolve. Right now it is making us run like the = helpless creatures we can sometimes be. Where will we run to when an = asteroid makes it to our Earth and does not miss?
