Today was Bill’s birthday, and while looking at the Facebook post regarding it, I good-naturedly wished him another 60 years.
Then I got to thinking that there are actually people who have lived that long a life, probably more now than ever before. Assuming socialism or islam doesn’t destroy the world, there may even be more longevity for those of middle age today. Bill, if you’re reading this, can you imagine if everything you’ve been through up to now, is only half of what your whole story will be? Can you imagine holding forth about life in 1975 to people living in 2075? People who (again, if we don’t birth-rate ourselves to extinction) might be grandparents or even great grandparents, and who were all themselves born in the 21st century.
Anyway, it was just a concept that I tried to imagine for a few minutes. But it’s one of things you can’t have any frame of reference for unless it happens to you, so many years from now.
One reply on “The Halfway Point”
The socialists and islamists are ready to charge the machine guns yet again. While I’m desperate and dateless the christian conservatives generally out breed the left and don’t abort their first born. If your out breeding the left then eventually they should go extinct. They only grow because they control education teaching our kids to be good little socialists. Actually what the youth want is charity and arts funding but they taught that capitalism can not do either. That’s wrong. The real battle is in Betsy DeVos’s lap.
Importing left wing people from the south (the caravans) will not work long term. Trump will force a change voting rules, new screening systems are possible but take time and guts to implement. The caravans are socialists from South America countries that are going right and free trade. If those countries can do that without corruption then the countries will boom and then the caravan will migrate back home. We have seen this in the case of Germany, Italy, Greece twice, China three times, Chile, Vietnam.
