Interesting Repeat of History…

The East Coast of the United States was hit with a snowstorm this weekend, including New York City, home of Occupy Wall Street. They’re allowing tents there now though. I have poor tolerance for cold, which is why I have a cold weather sleeping bag, but I think that this would be pretty cold. Still, it looks like people are still hanging on.

Interestingly enough, the last time that the entire East Coast was pummeled with snow this early on in the year was during the Civil War. We were also in the Little Ice Age back then. So we’re repeating weather conditions that haven’t been seen since the Little Ice Age, but we have to worry about Global Warming. More interesting about the connection than that is that the economic conditions, the ideological split, and the division that we are seeing resemble the time before the Civil War – except that it is on a global scale.
