Well the new year of 2002 AD has arrived without terrorist attacks. (Thank God) So now over the next 12 months the nation will truly begin its change. We must remember we are only four months removed from 9/11, a eye blink in the world of national change. We will begin to see the war on terrorsim get very murky, with a few bright flashes of overt military and judicial action. Aside from the War On Terrorism many other things will happen in '02, just as they did last year. Genetic engineering and biological science will continue to strain the moral and ethical constrants of the American people. We can expect the good ol' economy to be the true center piece of the news. If the economy doesn't rebound by mid-2002 or the year's end, Bush may be in hot water for his relection campaign that will begin next year. A crystal ball into politics will be the '02 elections of congress, the governors and representitives. I have a feeling that the Enron situation will be a quite interesting ordeal for the country to watch and the politicians to squable over. One of the world's largest companies plunged into bankrupcy within the space of a year while the company's top CEOs made off with quite a bit of money. Not to mention there will be questions of why the gov't didn't pickup on the company plunging into the red. Liberals may accuse W of some grand conspiracy. 2002 will be the year of true change. The energy for change littereally and figuritivley exploded on September 11, 2001, and now that energy will move and propagate throughout 2002 and beyond. I can only hope that 2002 is more like 1945, than 1939. You WWII buffs will know what I am talking about and I'm sure you can agree. This has been Curly's oppinion, not yours.
What Constraints? Our moral and ethical constraints? Our technological and medical advancement long ago outpaced our humanity.
