The war on terror is bad for everyone’s health. Stress is affecting our soldiers AND our citizens, who are developing heart problems related to constant terror alerts. Will this still be going on in 2008?

The reality is that it’s summer in the southern hemisphere, and it has been so hot that Adelaide, Australia has experienced a once in 3,000 year heat wave, and now a huge ice shelf has unexpectedly collapsed in Antarctica. The Wilkins Ice Shelf was expected by scientists to last at least another 15 years, so the collapse of this section came as a surprise.

For the last two years, around Easter, Anne Strieber has written a diary and this year is no exception. She writes, “Every year I seem to write an Easter Diary, and I don’t see why this year should be any exception.
