Are we all doomed?

No, not all of us, just those hard headed individuals who refuse to hear until it's too late.

This is going to be The issue in 2004.

Yes... I was doomed by my refusing to hear about Japan in 1990, Mexico in 1994, and now India and China for the past 3 years. I'm all doomed.

I partially agree. It is going to THE issue but not in 2004. Things will be okay for Bush to be handed the crown again in 2004. But things will head downhill from there quickly and dramatically. Hitlery will waltz into the White House/UN Headquarters in Washington in 2008.

Geeks have supported capitalism through the Nineties, but after they lose their savings and their houses, we could be looking at the election of '92 all over again. We could even see an 'alliance of opposites' between the geeks and the Greens. I envision this starting as a barter relationship: geeks will need to learn subsistence farming to survive, while Greens will admit the need for elementary communications and computer technology to spread their message.
