gentlepaws: We have 5 years left before the world reverts to chaos. The USA is bankrupt, but it's too hard to admit. All the world still places its chips on fossil fuel, which is running out. The populations of oil producing countries is growing to an extent where they will have to keep their oil.
Suburbs will become wastelands, because there are no transit systems to the city work-place. Germany, Japan etc., have electric high-tech train systems, while North America is dismantling its rail routes.
The post war dream....Disneyland, a happy ending to our lives, is just that, a dream. We have created the machine that can't be shut down, yet this machine is our demise.
No one wants to hear the truth, but we all will experience it and soon. I won't even touch on the Global Warming issue.
Its going to be a bit like reverting to before the industrial revolution - I never did much like cities anyway - I too have been expecting this and liken it to money finally consuming itself - what a shame just as we have got all this communication stuff going - I hope it doesnt happen
