nnburk[SMTP:nnburk@cobain.HDC.NET] posted 10 predictions about life in the USA for the next 10 or 15 years.

They are, of course, nothing but descriptions of what's been going on for the last 30-40 years. This isn't prediction, it's extrapolation! As so often the people will always win when playing "cheat the prophet". Whatever really happens next year the chances are it won't be exactly the same as what happened last year. Ken
