Did he have any proposals as to what to do about the impending disaster? I would guess that he didn't. He may turn out to be right, but we shouldn't forget that TV and radio personalities like Beck, as well as many columnists on both sides of the political spectrum make handsome livings by alternately titillating, terrorizing or enraging their watchers or readers. That's what they get paid to do. (Actually, they get paid to get high ratings so advertising can be sold.) But to put much more weight on what they say beyond any other entertainment show probably doesn't add much to our basis of real knowledge on complicated subjects.

But I do hope his projections are wrong!
