Predictions for 2011

[Whatever]

I was born in 1968.   

Thus making you a grunge kid? Math is right.

Google better sweetie!  I'm an 80's girl.  You should have seen my in my Madonna phase.  I turned heads for more than one reason....... 

[LMNO]

Technically, Madonna's career was still active well into the 90's, so that really doesn't help.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

That and the musicians that started gaining attention around that time are approximately your age.

Very true.

I meant Madonna's "Material Girl" roots.  Sorry!

I never got into the grunge scene.  Some of the music was decent, but the clothes, dear god why anyone wanted to dress like that.  I never understood it.

And here I am just a data entry chick.  It's sad isn't it?

It was basically a bunch of blue collar people from Seattle buying their clothes at thrift shops. When their music became popular, so did their lack of fashion sense.

Data entry. It grabs everyone at some point.

[AFK]

To, kinda, ride this tangent back to the point of the thread....

I predict that in 2011, Sonic Youth will, yet again, be passed over for induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

But, Bon Jovi will get in. 

Well fuck it, SY are never getting in. 

[BadBeast]

I was born in 1968.   

I was born in '53 so technically I was there, but there is no memory of it.

The four years of the 60's I was there for, didn't seem to be that memorable. They probably were, but just not for me.

[Hoser McRhizzy]

Some talking heads will read from their teleprompters that a few troublemakers with too much time on their hands are upset that the new Border Speculum Searches aren't hygienic enough.  Talking points will include:

- The Highway: public or private space?
- why do They hate Our highway safety?
- truckers something-something economy.

20+ preexisting organizations opposed to ludicrous state surveillance will try to get people to advocate for human rights.  Over 3 million people will friend We Hate The Speculum on facebook.  Standard Internet debate will pit traditional against mechanically-assisted cavity searches.

[Adios]

The Mexican Drug Cartels will unite and take over Mexico. They will strike a deal with big pharmaceutical companies, Congress will declare this legal. The Cartels win the war on drugs via capitalism and all are declared legal, with a prescription.

Legalization would be a huge defeat for the cartels.

Not if they struck the right deal.

Let's see...Flood the market, prices go down, deal with regulatory bodies, taxation, etc.

Or just keep running the shit across for high dollars on low investments.

[Juana]

2011 is going to be the 10th Anniversary of you know what. 

The sanctimony and fearmongering will be of epic proportions this year. 

I predict I will vomit until it burns. 

Uuuugh. Jesus Christ, it's going to be ugly. Endless repeats of jumpers again and again. The crocodile tears Republicans who're blocking 9/11 Responders bill will drown us all.

Blue collar folks will continue to rail against unions, none of them realizing that unions were key making their jobs safe(r) and their pay better.

College will become more expensive, forcing schools to take fewer applicants. California will probably see another 25% hike in 2011.

[Juana]

Oh yes, and many more slackitivist petitions will be passed around Facebook as more and more problems appear. "Sign this petition to stop the sea turtle burnings!!" an easy, feel-good solution for everyone but the sea turtles.
