I'm not against coke but we often hear of the kind of stuff CEOs in big business pull and seem to feel entitled--all in the name of making more money. It just seemed so possible and even after death the one man was still trying to cover up.

Pretty funny!

How old was the author--the young seem to gravitate to Mt. Dew--a Pepsi product. So how many want to rush out and grab a Coke?

I don't know, the jury is still out on the green house effect..... .....could bio-terroism wipe out our race? possible, but unlikely.... we humans are much too self preservative in my HO..... .... Coke?.... it was the "opiate" of the early 1900s,... I thought the irony was hilarious!.....

SoxsMom on "Brief History of the Dead--Question 4" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19585#post-424846 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 18:49:23 +0000 SoxsMom 424846@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ Can you imagine the Coca-Cola company out to bring you the latest in drinks with the purest ingredients! I just thought it funny knowing how corrosive Coke is. I liked some of the satire he used when devolping his book.

As that happens, it will impact animal life (and human life) on our planet. It happened before eons ago and it will no doubt happen again. As far as a plague deliberately spread by terrorists - that is entirely within the realm of being possible today. SoxsMom on "Brief History of the Dead--Question 4" http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19585#post-424776 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:17:04 +0000 SoxsMom 424776@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ We have already seen some of these happenings take place. We have also read propoganda that this will destroy our world. They imply that the virus was started to stop terrorism. One of the largest reasons we wanted to go into Iraq was because we had intel that told us that they had weapons of mass distruction. My biggest thought is the penguin is gaining size=a giant penguin?

Of course, the city beyond itself scenerio may be totally different; obviously that's something we will each learn in our time. It's often in the news about shelves falling from icecaps; the polar bears are in big trouble, and aquatic life will certainly perish without icecaps. I certainly did think of terriorism while reading this.

How likely is the future that Brockmeier paints in the novel–melting polar icecaps, the mass extinction of animals, a plague deliberately spread by terrorists? What aspects of our current situation point to such a possibility?
