If the eruption of an isolated volcano in Iceland can cause this mush havoc in Europe and America's Northeast -
Imagine the effect an eruption in Yellowstone would have on the world's environment, economies and populations. I guess if the movie 2012 is to be believed - at least Africa comes out alright.

If Yellowstone erupted no corner of the Earth would come out alright. The ash cloud would dramatically alter weather worldwide, causing famines and massive crop failure.
I've seen a documentary on just that possibility (I believe it was on the Discovery Channel). I guess Mother Nature has her equivalent of a nuclear stock pile, herself...you know...just in case.
Yeah it would be devastating.......but then again, I really don't give a shit about Idaho....or even Utah. Yeah, a volcano can have those two states as long as it leaves the rest of the US alone.
Seriously, tomorrow is another day and you never know what happens. We could be wiped out quicker than Kryptonite will kill Superman.
Concerning to whom the fault of oppression belongs; "We are not all equally guilty but we are all equally responsible" - Rabbi Abraham Hescel
Concerning blaming others for the problem; "...And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?... - Matthew: 7 1-5
Concerning how to fix the problems concerning oppression; "Someone once said that the word 'motivation' should never be used in the singular. Some combination of motives always exist and it's impossible for anyone to qualify the proportion of each that is involved in any given act" - Warren Buffet (in an interview in the USA Today)

Ha! I've been thinking about it. It would be DEVASTATING. Most people don't even know bout Yellowstone being a super-volcano.

Yeah... but I don't think many people took the threat seriously until the volcano in Iceland showed what could really happen.

The thing is, Yellowstone could pop any time. Hopefully it won't.
