55 years from now the world's population will probably have been cut by MORE than half. Yes I said it. If you pay attention to trajectory, mass, velocity and look at all the horrible things that have happened just within the last 7 years OR EVEN THE LAST 2 YEARS IN THE U.S., 55 years is totally unattainable for many thinking they'll actually live long enough to get there.

Roll the dice, because you never know where you'll be when the Iranian-Russian-Chinese-NoKorean nukes hit.

Well, I'm 56 so I seriously doubt that I'll make it 55 more years, but I think you're being just a tad pessimistic.

I think back to our grandparents who lived through WWII, with the entire world at war and 60 million people, 3% of the total population of the earth, were killed, and think that what is going on today, while not to be dismissed, was nothing like that.

Then I go back to our great grandparents who lived through WWI, where 17 million died, I and think the same thing.

Then I go back through history and look at the Black Death in Europe, where by some estimations up to 60% of the total population of Europe died, and yet we as a species recovered from that.

Yes, nuclear war is a very real possibility, and even more so with our government selling us out to the Iranians, but I have to believe that in the big picture, we have faced much darker times in the past than we do today.
