[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 38264, member: 10"] [b]Re: Predictions of the Year 2000 from The Ladies Home Journal of December 1900[/b] [LEFT]I assume you refer to prediction 11 and 28, but two of the 29 listed. The will of extermination seems to not so much to be of the wild animals, but of co-species that have caused illness in men, otherwise called pests. "Mosquitoes, house-flies and roaches will have been practically exterminated." Prediction 11 "Rats and mice will have been exterminated." Prediction 28 Perhaps what we can call stupidity is the method we/they have gone about killing these fellow travelers of life; introducing poisons that wind up coming back to us, in the circle of life ,and winding up in mother's milk. Perhaps these lines hurt the worst "The extermination of the horse and its stable will reduce the house-fly." There is a cultural identity relation of such tribes as the Siux with the horse, and the Buffalo. The horse was introduced by Europe though. I think the tribes of the New World let the horses feel their animal spirits better though. The parts I find most amazing was what was suppose to happen in agriculture. Prediction #12: Peas as Large as Beets. Prediction #13/: Prediction #26: Strawberries as Large as Apples will be eaten by our great-great-grandchildren for their Christmas dinners a hundred years hence. Prediction #14: Black, Blue and Green Roses. You see some of these in farm fairs, but I wonder if the brain drain of urban life and the move to "Get big or get out"(of agriculture) of Nixon Administration put these out of our time line. It is said that those who get A's go to the cities to get jobs. Those who get D's mow their John Dear tractors over the corn fields. The predictions that came true: We got the around the could communication. We got the population numbers. We got the ready made meals. I think we used our energies on Madison Avenue packaging instead of getting out hands dirty with soil. Aside from the glimpse into what people thought, and how good normal people are at coming up with predictions. Even how good "the most learned and conservative minds in America" are at making predictions. What we see is that they falter in their predictions. The way they falter tells you about what their hopes and dreams held. As well as realities they were not aware of, or thought through. But it also makes me consider, what pitfalls do our own dreams and hopes have for us in the present age. Our age of iphones and ATVs. Are we thinking of seven generations? Should our ability to manufacture vast metal things and burn through fuel like there is no tomorrow come to an end, what world are we leaving behind? What things in this age of excess are worth keeping and passing on? Will they be able to be preserved without the "civilization" we take for granted becomes unplugged and the stores closed for good. How much can be done to help prepare ourselves and the land to re-accept us as members of nature? Would we even be willing to make such changes even if we had to?[/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
