An invitation to all you crystal- and stargazers and other literati with imagination -

What will be the most pertinent, striking and surprising headlines in 2003? What headlines, whether on major topics or minor ones, political or international news or technology, science, the Internet, fashion or lifestyle, will in later years most poignantly remind you of what kind of year 2003 was? Serious suggestions are appreciated, irony is encouraged. Smile

Not interested in the headlines as they are pure fantasy

AM interested in the chemicals ingested to produce the fantasies

(on second thought...never mind)

I wish just heard this on CNN, "nuclear domino theory" as a reason for war with Iraq. Shades of Viet Nam I never expected to have to relive this kind of mess again. George Tenet head of CIA was the speaker. I guess that will be a new headline for younger generations.

My headline would read: U.S. Engages In Failed Policies of the Past

What about:

"Al-Jazeera to air weekly excerpts from Bin Laden's weblog" ?

"Rumsfeld lambasts 'bully' characterization: 'scandalous slur from irrelevant old Europe politicians' who 'act on their own peril'"

:wink:

Still ... anything outside the Bush/Iraq/Bin Laden configuration? What will be new on the net, for example? Elsewhere in day to day life? Revolutionary new pill guarantees extra inches ... oh no, wait, that was spam.

I applaud your powers of positive thinking, steissd ... A bug-free MS product, wow! ;-)

I saw this cartoon yesterday ... Man comes to the psychistrist, says: I have a positive outlook on life. I believe in a positive attitude!". Psych: Well, that's good ... Man: But it's hard, though! Psych: How so? Man: Because the world's one big fucked up mess, and we're all going to hell!

One small clarification. I do not believe that all these headlines that I proposed are possible in close future. It is just my dream, and my wish of success to the USA and to her people.
