- Five hundred years from now people will still be reading Stephen King.
- Mayan society at some point will be completely recreated on the site of what we refer to now as ruins- to include human sacrifice.
- In my lifetime Idaho and some other surrounding states will form a de-facto separate nation.
- Twenty years from now and beyond to learn what day to day life was like and how and why people thought what they did and what they were thinking- people will look at old blogs.
- Same thing with contemporary music 100-200 years from now the songs of Britney et. al. will still be being rerecorded and in fact will be listened to as original recordings.
- We will be in a war with North Korea within less than 3 years. If not, then never.
- President Obama will be viewed as one of the worst presidents.
- There will be a war in the US but, not a race war like a lot of people think- it will be Muslims against everybody else.
- Former prisoners of Gitmo will set IEDS in the US.
- Israel will tire of the ceaseless attacks and threats of same and give the state sponsors of the groups that perpetrate them an ultimatum: Stop the attacks or we will bomb your oilfields with dirty nukes rendering them unusable for the next ten thousand years.
- Or Mecca- same treatment.
- There will always be large, corporate farms but, instead of taking over and having a complete monopoly the balance will shift and more food will be provided by small, local producers.
- The US postal service will essentially go out of business.
- Within three years marijuana will be legalized.
- Soon, nearly every type of cancer will be curable and if not the simplicity of how it will be done, the fact of how wrong researchers were in many of the assumptions made during research will be shocking.
- There will never be a flying car for the masses.
- Although, within the next 20 years there will be rotary winged transports in large cities that use GPS and AI to ferry passengers from the suburbs to city helipads without a true pilot- only an attendant of some type.
- Fifty years from now nearly regardless of where it's at water will be as valuable as oil is today.
Been sitting on these thoughts for a while and recalled them with N Korea in the news as it's been lately.

I agree on most of these. The one that I'm having a problem with is the 'factory farms' aka corporate farms. With the USDA trying to stuff national animal identification system down the throats of small farms/ranches to have each head of livestock chipped or tagged. The corporate farms only need one tag for each lot of livestock. The expense of this program for smaller farms/ranches will be unreal. I have horses, which will never be food for anyones table and they want me to do this also.
This has been a huge issue for several years now and we have been trying to fight the government, a battle from he77.
It's really a very long story with lots of info posted.

Pretty radical predictions... yet very possible
chris- i checked out the site you mentioned- had no idea
marmsie- yes. i could give that kind of life a try as well if i had the chance.
denney- yeah, i know just playing around a little really. making myself think by saying "what if" without looking anything up. taking random crap i know + recent news items + what man historically makes of what's in front of them and voila'. we'll see...
Many of these I can definitely agree with... it DOES give me pause to think that people 100 years from now might think Brittney is a good summation of America! LOL oh my
So I read this a few different times. I agree with some and am scared by some. yikes! And I live in idaho and think you may be right on the money w that one. :)
We owe too much money to China for China to allow North Korea to engage the U.S. in a war within the next 3 years.
China will allow their ally, NK, to harass the U.S. but China knows the U.S. will bomb NK to glass if NK attacks the U.S., South Korea or Japan which will leave China no option but to enter the fracas.
mz- rarely disagree with your observations. i think the money we owe china will be one of the factors that will keep them OUT of the scuffle. also, recently theyve told nk to tone it down- new for them. they are also not so backwards and isolated to believe they could beat us themselves in a war. but, they know enough to let us and nk get it on and get it over with to keep from destroying both chinese and us economies. i just dont think china has to be the biggest consideration in this issue.
The stuff you ponder about the future.....=)
