Most Americans not looking forward to 07 with optimism, I wonder why?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061231/ap_on_re_us/2007_predictions_ap_poll

Six in 10 people think the U.S. will be the victim of another terrorist attack next year, more than five years after the Sept. 11 assault on New York and Washington. An identical percentage think it is likely that bad guys will unleash a biological or nuclear weapon elsewhere in the world.

Seventy percent of Americans predict another major natural disaster within the United States and an equal percentage expect worsening global warming. Fewer than one-third of people, or 29 percent, think it is likely that the U.S. will withdraw its troops from Iraq.

Slightly more than one-third, or 35 percent, of Americans predict the military draft will be reinstated.

_One in four, 25 percent, anticipates the second coming of Jesus Christ.

-----------------

Which of the above predictions is MOST LIKELY to occur? I say the last one.

1. Where's Ms Cleo when we need her accuracy these days?
and it's funny how offshoring isn't mentioned at all. (so that, along with other media reports of more hirings and "job sharing", means the US economy is going to blossom?)

And it's going to blossom.

I think 2007 will be better. And not because Dems have been put into power either...

Oh, everybody knows Jesus's second coming is in 2443. Google it, it's true!

2. Probably the same 25%
approve of the Iraq War because they believe it will usher in Armageddon/The Rapture.
