The Great Awakening: Boomers, Your Crisis Has Arrived (Part 3 of 3)

Change is the only certainty...Whatever happens to the leading edge of the "boomers"; seems to happen to everyone else in about 5-10 years; anyone watching?

It doesn't matter where you relocate... as long as there are many billions "without" and a few millions "with"; the millions will lose as soon as they storm the fortress. Just ask the French, anyone in Africa or South America or ?????

The Great Awakening: Boomers, Your Crisis Has Arrived (Part 3 of 3)

To Mr. Quinn and most of the other commenters, one hundred years may seem "long" but in the perspective of the planet, it is a blink of an eye... Humans are here, just as the Dinosaurs were, a prolific species that will be obliterated by a meteor, a magnetic field reversal, a Yellowstone eruption, massive plate tectonics or some other "natural cycle". Our billions of bodies will be recycled into fossil fuel for the next species that will occupy this planet. Note that all the gold, diamonds, "oil", steel and other elements are still here in one form or another;ready, in say a few million years, for a new species. Just as we refuse to learn much of anything from the prior occupants of this planet, the next occupants will likely repeat our errors as well. So lets continue to debate how many angels or demons can sit on a single transistor in the latest Intel Chip but we are all going to die and in a few thousand years, more or less, no one is going to notice.

The greatest irony I see these days is that there are more smiling faces in India, than there are in the US... even on a per capita basis.

thanks.
