The World Will Come to an End
By Laurence M. Vance
October 10, 2017
Obviously, the world did not come to an end last month on September 23 as some false prophets predicted. It is not even worth the time to discuss who made the predictions and why they made them.
Here are eight other times the world didn’t end when it was supposed to either.
But claiming that the sky will fall or the world will come to an end is nothing new. Many people believe that if a certain thing happens then the world will come to an end. They may not say so outright, but judging from their reaction to certain proposals, that is their reaction.
Liberals and Democrats are the worst, but conservatives and Republicans are sometimes just as bad, depending on the issue.
Here are fifty things, the mention of which causes one or all of these groups to think the world will come to an end.
The world will come to an end if Obamacare is repealed.
The world will come to an end if all drugs are legalized.
The world will come to an end if the defense budget is cut.
The world will come to an end if food stamps are eliminated.
The world will come to an end if all foreign was are ended.
The world will come to an end if U.S. funding of the UN, World Bank, and IMF is eliminated.
The world will come to an end if Affirmative Action is ended.
The world will come to an end if the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission is abolished.
The world will come to an end if the federal budget is actually cut.
The world will come to an end if all foreign aid is eliminated, including to Israel and Egypt.
The world will come to an end if AMTRAK is privatized.
The world will come to an end if prostitution is legalized.
The world will come to an end if all tariffs, trade restrictions, and trade agreements are eliminated.
The world will come to an end if the embargo against Cuba is lifted.
The world will come to an end if the Guantanamo Bay prison is closed.
The world will come to an end if the United States no longer pledges to defend South Korea and Taiwan.
The world will come to an end if Americans have the right to do “anything that’s peaceful” as long as it doesn’t involve aggressing against another American’s person or property.
The world will come to an end if the Earned Income Tax Credit is eliminated.
The world will come to an end if eighteen-year-olds are allowed to purchase alcohol.
The world will come to an end if the government quit funding space travel.
The world will come to an end if all federal gun regulations are repealed.
The world will come to an end if the CIA is abolished.
The world will come to an end if the NSA is abolished.
The world will come to an end if all U.S. troops come home and stay home.
The world will come to an end if all anti-discrimination laws are repealed.
The world will come to an end if all drone attacks are ended.
The world will come to an end if no one did anything about “climate change.”
The world will come to an end if government funding for the arts is eliminated.
The world will come to an end if the government ceases to fund Planned Parenthood.
The world will come to an end if all overseas military bases are closed.
The world will come to an end if Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, and Ginnie Mae are abolished.
The world will come to an end if Social Security COLAs are ended.
The world will come to an end if the United States quit meddling in the affairs of other countries.
The world will come to an end if the minimum wage is abolished.
The world will come to an end if the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is abolished.
The world will come to an end if NPR is sold off to the highest bidder.
The world will come to an end if the Americans with Disabilities Act is repealed.
The world will come to an end if the Family and Medical Leave Act is repealed.
The world will come to an end if federal funding of scientific and medical research is eliminated.
The world will come to an end if the Department of Housing and Urban Development is abolished.
The world will come to an end if the Patriot Act is repealed.
The world will come to an end if the federal Department of Education is abolished.
The world will come to an end if the National School Lunch Program is ended.
The world will come to an end if police don’t arrest people for victimless crimes.
The world will come to an end if all anti-trust laws are abolished.
The world will come to an end if funding for Head Start is eliminated.
The world will come to an end if the Department of Defense is limited to actual defense.
The world will come to an end if the TSA is abolished and airport security is returned to airports and airlines.
The world will come to an end if the income tax is eliminated.
The world will come to an end if all farm subsidies are ended.
Even if all of these things happened at once, the world would still not come to an end. What would happen is that a free society would emerge—a society that Americans have not lived in for many years.
