And this would be a bad thing how...?
If (and it's a big "if") some (or all) of these folks really meant what they said this next two years could be REAL intersting.
Hey, I can dream, can't I? We are currently in what is referred to in quantum physics as a "Quantum indeterminate state" where we don't know and can't know what the outcome will be. Events have to transpire to "collapse the state vector" and show us what is really real and what is mere possibility. Right now there are lots of possibilities, most of which have a very low probability of becoming reality, but they are possible, never the less.
