I considered myself a voice in the wilderness 20 years ago. DU has shown that there were other voices back then we just didn't hear each other. But the freer press did a far better job, too.

Nearly all the bad things forecast then are happening now.

Never had much experience with gangs, so if you say it is so, that's good, but that doesn't mean gangs are done and over with. Shoot, a movie about the gangs of NY @ 1860 showed how miserable gangs could be and in some countries gangs do rule.

One thing about today, worldwide, is that prosperity is spread out to more people than ever. If and when the prosperity disappears, lots of people are gonna be mighty unhappy. The G20 knows this. Throw peak oil and climate changes into the mix and lots of wealth evaporates. In fact, the oil pricing ripoff we just went through caused a lot of wealth transfer and is making lots unhappy right now.
