Poll question: In ten years when the Pluto mission arrives, will there still be a USA?
When you witness the launch of a space mission that will only be reporting its success to us in a decade, you have to wonder what sort of world will be here when it does.

I think we are about to enter the MOST dangerous ten years in history.

2. I think we'll be around
although we might be in bad shape but I refuse the believe the country will crumble. We will revive ourselves and push forward.

One can hope...

3. The United States will be annexed by Mexico.
Millions of Americans will be sneaking across the border to work in Canada as housekeepers, nannies, cooks, and fieldworkers. As his last official act in office Jeb Bush will sell NASA to the European Union. Polish Scientists will announce to a stunned world that Pluto is actually a giant alien space station. India and China will launch highly publicized competing manned misions to Pluto, but another cooperative mission launched by Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba, France, Norway, Kenya, and Japan will arrive first after a daring (and some would say foolish) act of interplanetary navigation. A little known linguist/biologist born in the Amazon wilderness will make first contact with the aliens.

4. Really ...how about some perspective...
There have been far greater challenges to the constiution than we are experiencing now...as bad as Bush is. Nullification, Civil War, Depression, Watergate...our Constitution is more than up to the challenge of the Bush cabal!!!
