It would still be a world of commercials and talk shows.
Four years (more like three) is a short time, after all.
I'd actually like to see the world our grand-grandchildren
enter (remember, I am just 26 years young...), because
that would be interesting. We have too many cars and
refridgerators, after all. The number of people isn't such a
big problem. Or wouldn't be, if we learned humility.
Humility to be pleased with what we have, not with what
we can gain.
But let's keep on discussing!

The Year 2000. The Sydney Olympics! But that year is really the end of this century! 2001 is the beginning of the next millenium.
I would like to see a more cooperative and cohesive world. However with all the outright greed of transnational companies, and petty squabbles between ancient neighbours, the world still has a fair way to go before we all start to work better together.
Resources, especially non-renewable ones are being diminished, so really as consumers we need to start pressuring our companies and governments into adopting renewable resources and constant energies for the future. Afterall what state are we going to leave the world in?

Elizabeth Dole/George Bush
vs.
Al Gore/Hillary Clinton
It's possible! Even somewhat likely.
Think about it.

ugh, I hope not!! Have you noticed how some nights one sits there, flicking away across 93 channels - and not a thing that one can watch!! Now, that's what I call a pointless exercise! But I'm not the best judge.
I hope the year 2000 plus will bring with it nappies that self-destruct.

Baby nappies, and perhaps sanitary nappies as well (was that the one you were wondering about?),
but not tampons - if they were to self-destruct at the wrong instant, then 'flower in bloom' would be a pretty approprate way to describe the female
under-insides.
Wer, what the hell's happening to all the other conferences - seems we're the only two left, at rather irregular intervals. Are all the others on holiday, do you think? Damn, wish I were too. Instead I'm bed with a throat- and kidney infection, not to mention the broken arm - what a way to spend summer. Are you working through summer as well? Think I'll take a break towards the end of
September once I have this exhibition out of the way. Ugh, it's a long way off
. . .

don't know, hon, we go through periods of inactivity like this...
and, yes, I work all the time...it'll pick up again, and it's nice
seeing you branch out to more conferences, I might add...

$hit, have I made a blunder?
I assumed having kids meant you were married. I am truly sorry, I shouldn't just assume things like that. Forgive me.

Oh $hit!!! I didn't realize - no wonder some people think I suffer from split personality! Heck, maybe I do! Because when we're friends, Chris calls me Skat, when we fight, it's Ri�tte, and in bed he calls me by my second name.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That exhibition had better happen now, so I can have money to go to a shrink! Luckily I still have that good excuse in the back of my head: 'Oh, I'm following the Kitchen Man!'

(nappies are diapers)
I wouldn't mind seeing a diaper that changes itself in the next millenium (though I haven;t changed one in 2 years)

Right now I'm so fed up with nappies (especially with all the cherries we've been eating) that I hope it takes a bit longer - I'd LUV to see these two change their little tikes' cherry nappies!

I'm also rather worried about my daughters following in mummy's footsteps. I'll kill them if they do! ($hit, that's just what Mum used to say!)
