Prophets of Doom

How do you expect any semi-intelligent, thinking person to assign you any credibility? You have your main issue, whatever it might be. Maybe you have several. You search for the signs in your mind of impending gloom and doom .... The election of a new pope, a certain policy going into effect, etc.. You proclaim that this is it, that the shit is about to hit the fan. That we're all about to be imprisoned or put to death. When it doesn't pan out the way you seem to hope for with mass rioting and revolution in the streets and whatnot, you wait for the next perceived sign to come along and start all over again. Oh and you always seem to forget to mention all the times that you were wrong previously, where you mis-interpreted the moon and stars and other varied definite signs and certain indicators supporting your lunacy. Because this new sign, this new event is it!!

Until you are proven wrong again that is. If a baseball or basketball player was zero for fifty, they'd be sitting on the bench, if not banished to the lowest levels of their profession and lucky if anyone ever listened to a thing they had to say. But you've managed to string together a core group of paranoid and loyal followers and groupies who believe each and every spewing of bile that flows from your yapping face. And that's all well and good that you have those followers and I'm perfectly fine with that ..... but then you proceed to condemn any other person that doubts your credibility and label them a heretic or of the devil.

But you know something ..... You need to be correct once or twice before any reasonably sane person might actually stop and consider your point of view. A decade or two of O-fers don't really cut it.
