Hey, glad to see we are getting some posts
I sure hope the housing problems are getting over. I know I am not making any big changes. High gas could mean so many problems
I say Oregon will defeat Auburn...

-Some of the worst stagflation in history will plague the country (inflation in food & energy, deflation in wages), thus also preventing any "recovery"
-China will become the world's largest manufacturer
I was mostly agreeing except for the bolded. I really hope you are wrong on that one because I still have all non-digital TVs and am not ready for Blu-Ray yet. Hell I didn't even by a DVD player until 2005!

* People who ascribe to fundamentalist religions will work themselves into a lather about 2012 craziness but then will come to understand that the transformation is metaphoric, not literal.
* People, in general will realize that war is barbaric and our troops will return home.
* The ghettos in America will be given a face lift - buildings will be painted pink, yellow and a beautiful shade of light green, flowers will be planted, people will take pride in their homes, however humble. Peace and love will reign on the streets.
* All people will recognize the humanity in each other and people will begin to greet each other with "Namaste" and mean it.
* TV will rise to a new level - there will be more PBS, shows on anthropology, psychology, spirituality, world history, local history. There will be documentaries on at all hours of the day and night. No more cop shows or vulgarity or inanity. People of all ages will be inspired, every day.
* People will begin doing good deeds and "paying it forward." Manners will return to society.
* Every addict will give up their addiction and will begin doing volunteer work for their communities.
* People will be kind to each other in all transactions.
* When someone needs help, someone else will notice and step forward to help.
* Families will begin to understand each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt.
* People will begin to treat all animals will love and care and humans will learn true empathy.
* People will learn to meditate and pray and spend time in nature and they will be calmer and more grounded, as a result.
* Everyone will always be on their best behavior.

Republicans will be chanting drill baby drill again.
Economy continues its snails pace recovery.
Huck and Palin decide not to run, getting embarassed in a campaign won't be good for their TV careers.
Tim Pawlenty is the first to announce he is going to run for president among republicans.

The government will admit we are in a depression, and the Dow will retest its March 2009 lows. Unemployment will rise to 12%. Oil prices will collapse when the stock market does.

Look for basically a repeat of late 2008-early 2009.
