What do you think the USA will be like in 5 years?

Poll question: What do you think the USA will be like in 5 years?

Choose the one that matches your perception the best:

or type in your own idea and explain...

1. This seems like such a turning point, but in which direction?

Should I choose the one I want to happen? I get no clear picture when I consider it. It's a period now when I even doubt my fear. I guess I have to guess.

The most likely, I suppose, is something positive. The number of folks who are, so to speak, of good will outnumber the hypnotized and the malicious, and they can communicate to one another more easily now than ever before, so that augurs well for the future. I've also been following mostly positive folks about the 2012 changes, and I'm pretty convinced that the future is positive. I've felt that way since about the Harmonic Convergence - it was almost like one of the messages in the the "guardian/guide" thread. For some reason, at that time, I changed my mind to think that the long-term future is positive. Unfortunately for us, we live in these bodies on the short term :-)

So, on the whole, I guess I'll choose the most positive future, for the sake of encouraging it to arrive.

2. No basis even to guess until next elections,

even tho Wisc. recalls do provide some hope. Would love to say 'sobered and rebuilding sensibly.'

[BlueIris]

3. Strangely, I had to post "Sobered, and rebuilding sensibly."

If you'd ask me five days ago I would have said, "10 Faux Noise" stations, though.

[Ricochet21]

4. yes BI

It's hard to pick 1. I chose teamwork in honor of 1grassroots hard work

[findrskeep]

5. I wanted to vote for more than one...

I chose "much of the corruption has been cleansed" but I also wanted to choose "Sobered, and rebuilding sensibly" and I hope that it is "Fine after a huge sweep of spiritual understanding".

[kimmerspixelated]

6. I almost picked the spiritual one.

But people working more together seems inevitable and plus really that in itself incorporates a kind of spirituality..

7. I Have A Question For You

Regarding the Euro. It's in huge trouble and it seems there are only two ways it can go. It could fail miserably and individual countries would go back to their own currency. The other solution would be a central government for all of Europe, a matter being currently discussed by France and Germany. The second option scares the beJesus out of me on so many levels and I can't imagine the people of those countries would willingly give up their identities and autonomy. An attempt to centralize would create (I believe) a huge rebellion and complete chaos. Have you any astro thoughts on this?

[Ricochet21]

8. in keeping with upcoming age of Aquarius....

There is 1 world

United: Earth

All other manmade separations are "quaint, familiar, and cozy"
But are all based in illusion. I think.
We are one human family
The illusion is that we'll somehow be better off separate
The ego has proven that a fallacy over and over again.
Nationality is merely projected ego and amplified mistrust.
We only have 1 choice. We cannot eat while Somalians starve.
We are all Somalians. Duh
It is time that we grow up and drop the imaginary boundaries - Neptune

[Me.]

9. Wow

Fab answer and I totally get what you're saying. But here's the rub, those who would lead, aka PTB, would have to be transformed for one world to be anything other than totalitarian and that is the source of my concern, ala 1984.

Thabk you for for giving thoughtand consideration to my ?

[Ricochet21]

10. eventually, the weight of the truth will break their backs

Their lives are more based in vapor illusion. We are one including them ,
It's all us.
Keep spreading the word cause their only weapon is fear
Which is not real
They have no chance
After all
We are all new to this
We just recently met each other and will take time for Bible
Lies to die

18. Here, Here...

That's the best way, the only way...

[Cleita]

14. Not only that, it would create an empire, not unlike

the Soviet Union, although I know the ideology would be different. The problem is if goes to a dark ideology, whether from a strong man taking charge or a derelict philosophy like Libertarianism, it can't be good. We would be looking across the ocean with wary eyes at such a development. I think the problem with the Euro can fixed if the EU dumps the IMF and tries something else. Sorry I have to disagree with Rick at this point. I don't think we are ready for the Age of Aquarius and global unity just yet. Different nations keep a sort of check and balance on those who would go rogue. That is the crux of the matter balance, yin and yang if you will.

[Me.]

20. My Concern

While I believe Rick is ultimately right, and we do see some it popping up in the country ala we are the change we can believe in, I don't think the world is perched on the edge of the giant transformation it will take to change Europe. Already the remedies Cameron has suggested re the riots is put in place terribly draconian and punishing policies that will hurt the innocents of the country along with the guilty. I too think the solution is to dump the Euro. Each country could go back to who they were, hopefully heal and become whole and then perhaps a merge would be possible. Also, I must admit I like the diversity of personality that the different countries present. I think, in addition, that what is needed is a good knock to the head, a pulling the rug out like the Tower in the tarot and that I think is coming one way or another and we may all have to face change whether we like it or not.

11. "People working much closer together in teamwork"

After the complete break down of our present society (Pluto), we will be forced to work together as teams to rebuild & survive.
I am amazed how much is going on these days & how my perception of time is becoming quite distorted. April feels like years ago instead of 4 months. Five years from now seems like it will be 20 lifetimes in the future!

[Why Syzygy]

16. Time distortion

Yep. I never EXPERIENCED June. It is as if it never existed! That's never happened.
It was July and I was like, no. We gotta have JUNE! strangeness ensues
Weekdays just fly by, but weekends seem to drag. Some weeks I think every day is Saturday...
I keep getting a whole lot of triple numbers.

I agree. If we are to survive, we have to do it Together :grouphug:
And personally I believe that anyone who has not dealt with their shadow WILL have to.
The groups need to have clear energy. I think there are enough of us energy workers
out in the general population to clear space so people can come to grips with the
totality of their souls.

[kimmerspixelated]

19. I ditto that!

[get the red out]

12. In ten years

People will have seen what paying no attention to things gets them in this country. First the misery and depression, then the "morning after" with a huge spiked tea party hangover and coming back to our senses wondering how we could have let this happen. We will have to accept the fact that we are no longer able to scream "we're number 1" with a straight face and that patriotism begins at home with our own people and isn't focused around the defense industries. We get to this place or there will be fiery riots in the major cities that will get us to this place, we have that choice.

[Cleita]

13. I chose number 6 because I believe it will be up to us,

the common people, to form coalitions and cooperatives to rebuild what has been destroyed and to rid ourselves of the corruption that is rampant in our government. The world of spirit is behind us, but it's up to us to do the heavy lifting.

[Why Syzygy]

15. Teamwork

If we have an ELE, we won't be here. Otherwise. If we do survive it is going to have to be by working together.
In the event of chaos or whatever comes, I have mentally prepared myself for asymmetrical responses.
You will not find me wandering around looking for someone to tell me what to do. I know how to build teams.
My Leo nature would be able to come into full bloom because 'power' would be decentralized.
(that sounds arrogant and so maybe I am)

[Tumbulu]

17. I voted what I want to see:

sobered but rebuilding sensibly....but I thought this would happen 25 years ago....so I guess I get to keep putting that vision out there.
