Today’s INCREDIBLY Easy to Make Predictions
(Not afraid to put this in writing due to my natural ability to see the future. John Edward - the psychic - has nothin’ on me!)
Future generations will look back at our time and the conventional wisdom will hold the following positions - or your money back.
1. The Iraq War was a moral and moronic failure.
2. Global warming should have been dealt with decades ago and the deniers of yesteryear sucked as humans.
3. Over-population is a very, very big problem. Biggest really.
4. George Bush was a humorous, criminal, embarrassment.
5. Edward Snowden was a hero. So was Glen Greenwald.
6. Taking care of the middle and working classes was a damned good idea. We should have kept up with it.
7. Making the ultra-wealthy and corporations pay their fair share of taxes should have been carried on through the 21st century.
8. Mountaintop removal was just plain evil.
9. Solar and hydrogen power are far better than fossil fuels.
10. People attracted to the same sex are able to marry whomever they choose and the world kept spinning.
11. A few extremely wealthy people in a land filled with a majority that find it hard to take care of basic needs - does not a great country make.
12. Our ancestors gave up our rights far too easily. What was wrong with them?
My crystal ball needs to recharge its aura… or something. May be back later to add to this list.

I completely agree. It ain't rocket surgery for crying out loud. 
and attempted complete sentences. 
That was pretty funny.
Your post is one of the 20 or so best I have read here. I talk to my teens about this issue.... 
So true. 
Add this one: They will wonder how stupid we had to be to elect a president who believes the Earth is 6000 years old and that a book pieced together from a lot of manuscripts floating around in the third century is more accurate than provable science. 
I'd probably replace it with something like, "Literal 'White privilege' was such a dumb & outdated meme. Why did we run with it?", or "We should have given the pragmatic Democrats a chance when we still could".....and add "....but the doomers weren't much better" to number 2.
OTOH, number 10 in particular was fantastic. 
You're not posting a lot lately but when you do, they're doozies.
You even mentioned over-population here which is a touchy subject for some DUers. I recently had yet another dispute with a person here regarding this subject. My hat's off to you, sir! Well done per usual.
The whole overpopulation thing. There is so much land not being used just here in the US. I don't have any neighbors for at least 2 miles. The transit time to the closest town, Cookeville, is about 45 minutes away. That's about the average commute time for workers.
I just think that if we got out of the cities and moved into a more rural area, started growing our on food, using the local coops or farmers markets things would be better.
In Oct I will have been here for a year. My last station was in Tampa. I dread of even thinking of ever having to go back. Thankfully I don't.
...based on the video below (and a couple of others) using this solar panel kit and a couple of deep cycle marine batteries and Cobra inverter from the dreaded Walmart. It was a fun DIY solar project and I've already taken it camping and it powered all our lights, ran the radio and laptop, charged mobile devices including cell phones and tablets and, most importantly, it powered the blender to make mixed drinks .
I love it because it charges (even with clouds) the batteries back up during the day and you can turn it toward the Sun as it progresses through the day. At night, it's charged up and ready for the lights, the radio, AND the blender!
*Hiccup!*
