Liberalism, a mental disease.

Thinking anyone you disagree with has a mental disease is a serious, mind-numbing disorder in its own right.

I hope everyone realizes the earth's slowing down is not our biggest problem.

In only five billion years the SUN is going to EXPLODE and KILL EVERYONE on the planet!!!

Default The earth's rotation is slowing down

"When the dinosaurs were alive, there were 370 days in a year. The Earth’s spin is getting slower because the moon’s gravity is acting as a drag, so days are getting longer, by about 1.7 milliseconds per century."

Global cooling is a drag?

Not news...

This has been happening for 4.5 billion years.

In further prehistoric developments, the moon is creeping away from us.

So you agree that taxes should be raised immediately, and the money used to find ways to get earth back up to speed, eh?

I can think of one way to get back up to speed, it involves some therapy for those identifying as liberals.

It's a disc spinning on it's axis silly. Of course it's slowing down just like a top slows down.

Yup. Don't take life so seriously. It's a temporary condition.
