Bowtie:
Wow, been listening to a little Coast to Coast AM lately with George "the sky is falling" Noory? In all seriousness, I share your fears though. Seriously, I've remarked about that China thing for years to others. China does have its own version of exceptionalism (Confucianist), and people would do well to take it seriously. Anyway, I chuck most of my Coast to Coast worries up to my anxiety disorder. Let's hope so, at least.

> 3. sinking of 1 of our 2 aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf
> 4. the Pope is asassinated w/no replacement
> 5. Isreal gets fed up and attacks Siria and Iran
> 6. price of oil starts settling lower than today when the speculators become regulated
> 7. China demands title to the lands in the nine western states that secures the accumulated 4 trillion dollar deficit in our balance of payments, which are met with our stiffest resistance ever seen (they better "duck & cover")
> 8. Hillary Clinton does not become our 1st female President, but is elected in May of 2009 as our 2nd female President
> 9. Solar activity in 2011 eventually forces the survivors underground till 2016
