i'm just impressed when a politician can talk off the cuff. maybe it's a craving for an older generation who were better communicators than I am.

About the pole shift, I mentioned it to someone who is in the know, and he told me this:

Genesis 9:11-13 (NIV):

11 "I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."

So, he is not worried about pole shift. I tried to press him on "well maybe it's just a promise for in between the cycles (as in each cycle is a new start and finish). but he seemed doubtful, and just repeated this .

however, if it had to happen twice as the poet says... ice would be nice.

He also mentioned this promise:

Genesis 8:22 (NIV):

"While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night shall not cease."
