    Reading the various comments above I am unsure whether to laugh, cry or sigh. Maybe all three. At least we lived to see the turn of the century. Any bets on seeing the next one?

      We'll see it but not as the country we currently inhabit. The US Government will have definitely run its course by then. This will be a very different country in 2100, not recognizable from what it is now.
