I thought Aussies would use British spelling. Guess not.

Maybe you misunderstood me? Your OP is chain mail, and like all chain mail it is neither insightful nor interesting. It does not need to be discussed on a forum and, honestly, really should not be shared at all. If you don't believe that it is chain mail, well, here are some links:
http://www.rense.com/general92/goodbye.htm (It appears this is the original source. It is the oldest dated copy I could find, and Clark McClellan is cited on this website for the list as well[/url]. It appears that some people, like your principal, cut off the part about the collapse of America and others did not. I guess it depends what your motive for sharing it was.)
http://www.putnamlive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=205:december-letters-to-the-publisher&catid=82 (it appears someone plagiarized this for a letter to the editor shortly after Clark wrote it, lol)
http://www.independencetimes.com/?p=1914 (plagiarized again :()
http://blog.adw.org/2011/06/nine-things-that-will-disappear-in-our-life-time/ (ouch, even the Catholic Church wrote about it, that's how you know something online is really old)
http://ellisonchair.tamu.edu/2011/02/16/get-ready-for-the-future/ (appears to be claiming credit for the list, not positive: do people on the internet have no integrity!?)
Sorry for the lazy links, but with so many I didn't feel like shortening all of them into text hotlinks.
Incidentally, the memories do not remain. Your brain is very lazy, so your memories of past events should be considered unreliable at best.

I failed to notice that. Oh yes that negates the entire novel and makes it garbage.

Welcome to Canada.
Although that is obsolete too, what with modern weaponry.
Aye. |

Maybe CD's will die...but really I don't see that either but the internet/file sharing will ultimately end up being a good thing for music. Yeah
As for newspapers, couldn't care And whoever wrote that seemed happy TV would be on its way out, and frankly I agree. Good riddance. Edited by JJLehto - June 24 2011 at 13:46 |

I think that earth only has about one generation of humans left. We're f**ked. The oceans are f**ked, the ice caps are f**ked. Pretty soon the earth will take its wrath out on us and swallow us in the rising tides.
At least I hope so anyways, we don't deserve to be here. |

Swallow us? The sea level won't rise that much, jeeze. And maybe we'll be f**ked in the future, but I very much doubt humanity as a whole will go extinct any time soon. I have no idea why I felt it necessary to post all those links when a link to a Google search probably would have been as illustrative, but I already did it so I'm not going to delete them.

The other thing that will not disappear is human stupidity. Well, strike that - it'll disappear with the human race. |

Yeah, I was gonna substitute the word "change" for progress. We'll change for sure. Progress though is a word that probably implies positive outcomes, and I'm note sure that's a slam dunk. |

But on the plus side, if everyone died then Wapsi Square would no longer exist. Edited by Henry Plainview - June 24 2011 at 20:53 |

Yeah this is really pissing me off. I ordered In The Land Of Grey and Pink on vinyl a week ago without knowing about this retarded strike. Oh well, It should be over in a week or so

I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't

I've always though this to be a rather ridiculous notion. How can every single human be destroyed? Won't there always be pockets of humanity no matter how devastating the event? We will be thrown back to a simpler time long before we are wiped out completely.
