So, a little over a month ta go and we'll hit 2012. Assuming we all survive 2012- Mayan's notwithstanding...
Time for a future-vision eye checkup....Better...or worse??? What do you see for the future? What will disappear mostly or altogether? What do you see yourself unwilling to give up and what will you need MORE of? Do you see more war or will we be done for a spell after Afganistan?
Where do you think you will be in 2032??

You should not have posted this today. I can't even envision my future right now. I'm guessing it is going to be more of the same life I am currently living.

Yeah, life is like that. Just when you think everything is set in concrete, and nothing new is going to come along... bam!
Just keep your powder dry, for no one knows what comes next.
As for the larger topic, all naive views of a peaceful, modern planet in the 21st century have long since been shattered. I know I'll never see the utopian future world of Star Trek. Hell, at this rate, the best we can hope for is Logan's Run.
Where'd that cat come from ?

I intend to retire (or at least semi-retire) sometime after my birthday next year, which will give me a couple of months of leisure before the end of the world in December.
It is hard to predict what will happen next year. Since it is a major election year here in the States either a lot of stuff will happen or else everyone will be hesitant to do anything out of fear of making things worse.

Sorry Pizmo...If ya wanna educate anybody on Thorium, you're going to have to find a video that doesn't put me to sleep twice in the first five minutes. Maybe I'll try again before I go to bed tonight...

Funny you mention that, I was actually thinking the other day that Star Trek(or sci-fi in general) was part of the reason for a lot of the credit troubles we're having now. I think people started thinking that the world should be all soft rounded edges and nice electronics and and started reaching for that with no ideas on how to pay for it first... It's still a dog-eat-dog world. Captain Picard ain't gonna come save you, heh.
On the war front question, there was an article today about the scaling back of Marines in Afganistan, so that's a step... Now if ol' Kim Jong would just go ta sleep and not wake up, I'd feel a lot safer...

OMG!!!
I think I just saw Mingo or Fanty on "House"!
I Yelled at hubby, "Hon, Come in here! I think it's Fanty or Mingo" and he came in and said "Yep, It's Mingo" and I said, knowing "How do ya know" He said...
"Fanty's Prettier!"
I have never actually used this phrase before, but ROTFLMAO!

Also, in regards to the first subject...I was also thinking that the emerging youth (and me for that matter) don't really have a direction. Thirty or fourty years ago I think people really did believe we would have hovercars or bullet trains everywhere or that life in general would just be better by now. Now "We're Here" and I dunno about y'all, but I don't have a clue where we're heading. It's almost like I don't have that sense of a future like I did when I was a kid. Maybe we are not far enough into this century for it to have a definition...Maybe this century isn't going to have one...Maybe we will have the Roaring 20's all over again...
I think I'd look good in a flapper dress...with an long electronic cig and a nada colada, heh. Does it come in Synthahol?
Where's the good stuff that makes ya go blind??
Ah. Here it is. 
Guinan always keeps some under the bar.
Oh, wait. They shut down the Star Trek experience hotel.
What dreams are we left with, again?
