"Year 2010 --Looking Back on Past 10 Years", Where Will We Be???

[rrrevolution]

Struggling daily with each new overwhelming crisis prevents us from seeing clearly the big picture of what has actually happened and where we are headed. People rarely say I knew this one event or decision would eventually lead to the consequences we are dealing with today.

Focus on what this country will look like in five(5) more years if there is not an immediate and drastic change in our government, its leaders and its policies. Those who can accurately predict and depict the state of things in Year 2010, if we do not change course immediately, will provide people with a clear picture of what they are promoting by continuing to support this corrupt Adminstration.

Folks what we do over the last five(5) years of this decade will determine the future our children and grandchildren will experience for the majority of their lives.

How is that for ratcheting up the pressure on all of us to be proactive and start today? For tomorrow will be too late.

1. we will be paying the bills that come due. New Orleans and the

gulf will be taking it on the chin and the plains will be going into a dust bowl from global warming.

2. My predictions, barring change in direction

US continues doctrine of oil dependence. Continues wars of acquisition/control of remaining oil supplies. Continues arrogant stance towards multinational cooperation in disputes, and grows increasingly isolated in world affairs.

Meanwhile, European nations continue advancing alternative energy and efficiency research.

By 2010 Eurpoean efforts have not advanced far enough to counter the convient power of petroleum. However, they are closing the gap. European industry has identified dead ends, and paths that show greatest promise. They are developing deep industrial capabilites in these technologies which will serve them well in the future.

The US continues in power, but the writing is on the wall. It's future has been tied directly to oil, and when the oil dries up the US will not have the deep alternative knowlege needed to remain in power in a post petroleum world. It will eventually become a has-been power, srambling for funds to buy technologies it should have developed on its own, stuck playing a game of catch-up.

In the Pacific rim something similar happens, although I've no strong idea who will take the European (Japan?) or US (China?) path.

What will the dollar value be, and wage levels be?
