I believe Jamo's direction on politics applies to Democrats and Republicans, otherwise religion would have certainly been at the top of the list. Note that in the Lounge guidelines "religion, moral and ethical issues are ok". My question was asked more in that vein - where you think mankind is headed?

Anyone ever wonder if "your life" happened to occur during a time period considered to be the best that "mankind" will ever achieve?
What kind of challenges do you think your great-grandchildren will have in making it to the next century? ... right now, we may have it as easy as it will ever get.

I'll leave my thread starter open, I'm curious to see how some might see the future for our great grand-children. That's not to say you can't bring up your own topic here, it's open to shoot the chit about anything but cars. If you have a philosophical view on something and want to bounce it off others, this is the place.

I personally think Global Warming/Climate Change will be the number one challenge for future generations getting to 2100. It seems that man doesn't get around to fixing things until it gets uncomfortable. I heard a story on CNN where temperatures in the Persian Gulf will be at 140 deg. F before the century is out, considered uninhabitable. Last week the most powerful Hurricane ever recorded hit Mexico, weather in the US over the last decade has wreaked havoc; floods, drought, new temperature extremes etc.
