I was in line at Starbucks this morning. The man getting served in front of me asked for a mocha.
“Sorry sir, but we’re out of mochas.” The guy was fuming. “I have a mocha every morning when I come in here!” he raged. “I’ll just have to have a latte!” He went and sat down. I went to the counter and said, “I’ll have a large latte too, please.” They asked me for my name. I asked why they needed it and they told me that they’d write it on my cup and shout it out when it was ready. |

Walter Cronkite warns of the coming Ice Age in 1972.
On September 11, 1972, Cronkite cited scientists’ predictions that there was a “new ice age” coming. He called that prediction from British scientist Hubert Lamb “a bit of bad news.”
“But then there is some good news,” Cronkite continued. “That while the weather may be just a little colder in the immediate years to come, the full extent of the new ice age won’t be reached for 10,000 years. And if you can stand any more good news, even then it won’t be as bad as the last ice age 60,000 years ago. Then New York, Cincinnati, St. Louis, were under 5,000 feet of ice. Presumably no traffic moved and school was let out for the day. And that’s the way it is, Monday, September 11, 1972.”
Lamb, the scientist Cronkite cited, was no fringe scientist. He founded the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Great Britain. When he died, the CRU director called him “the greatest climatologist of his time,” according to the Global Warming Policy Foundation. He was also credited with establishing “climate change as a serious research subject.”

Those rules are not rules in the same way that the laws of nature are rules, that cannot be broken. They are rules in the sense that they describe observed behaviors, much as one might get some sense, at the least, of the rules of a sport or game by observing those who play the game and those who enforce the rules.
The rules were formulated by way of observation over many years. Attempts to order them according to importance have languished.
