Do you fear for the future? Enviromentally, socially, over population? I read the papers and have a fear that the world is self destructing and wonder if my children will be alright?

I definitely do fear for the future because of global warming and illegal immigration and terrorism. Those things worry me more than anything else in the world. Gas prices also worries me as we will not be able to afford gas if they keep going up. Global warming is causing problems with more devastating natural disasters. Too many people in a city or state can cause problems. It is pretty scary having children and wondering if they will be alright or not.

Fearful NO, just cautious. Prepare your children to have skills that they might need to survive in the future that might be dour. Wild foods, fire starting, water distilling and sewing, cooking, paper making and candle making are all things that could make difference in the future if the foriegners that hold our purses strings shut down the access to goods. They could do that and you now how our society might react. Make plans in the in case basis. Better prepared than caught in the dark.

Actually I would say that if you're this worried I would say it should be your grandchildren and/or great grandchildren that would be in this not your children. If anything occurs naturally like over population etc it will be a couple hundred years I feel at least. So calm dowen, relax and life your life. It's the only one you have and can't do much about it now. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
