Yes, we all want to live to see our kids grow up and flourish and all that good stuff, but I mean on a global basis.

If there's one milestone in human development that you simply cannot miss--what is it?

Here's mine:

I want to live to see the West completely abandon its reliance on oil. I want to see it replaced with a renewable power source that will allow for cars to be just as fast as powerful, but without the tremendous political pricetag that such consumption carries today. Most of all, I want to see the economic benefits of such technology remain here, where they belong, and I want to see the West embrace these benefits without the slightest twinge of guilt.

I guess that's a couple milestones, but what the hell.... It's thursday

I would love to live long enough to experience the second coming of the Lord our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I think that would be one hell of an experience!

:aok

Also, I think it would be neat to live long enough to experience our sun going super nova!  Perhaps that would be equal to the second coming :O

Chuck Norris to start playing AH2 and completely and totally owning all the squeekers!!!



Personally I'm waiting on WW3.  It's been far too long since and big biys decided to have at it (not counting proxy wars).   You know it's got to happen sometime.

I'd like to see the development of a workable FTL(Faster-Than-Light) drive developed and used. Also, I'm with RTR on a Mars landing.

I want to see the people of Britain make a stand against the PC fueled lying ******* politicians in this country.

Doubt I'll live long enough to see it though.

And 1 million dollars in pennies delivered to you by Abe Lincoln?  

You've got about as much chance.

I'd like to be around when the aliens show up and prove we are not alone in the universe.

I think i'd go with the Mars Landing, although personally I'd rather go myself than watch it on TV

Yea, well Yeager wants to witness the second coming.  That is confidence for you.

I would like to see our Government de regulate all of the "Black" ops programs and see what we are really up to. I also would like to go to area "51" and talk to the "Greys":O :noid
