>>In 1969, I predicted that the US would collapse by 2000.<<

An irrational prediction influenced by your opposition to the war in Vietnam, no doubt.

>>Incidentally, at the time I exchanged letters with Buffett and he, rather curtly, said he disagreed with me. He was right and I was wrong......Now it looks to me again that the US must collapse.<<

Connect the dots, Malcolm.

>>I extrapolated the trends and correctly forecast that by that year more than 30% of the births would be out of wedlock.<<

True, but now half of those births are to women aged 25 and over - these births are lifestyle choices, not teenage accidents. As in all other arenas, the US is leading the world in its innovation of non-traditional family structures. You (as a man) are no longer necessary and required in a family, Malcolm.

>>......the US must collapse<<

I am genuinely curious what you mean by this, Malcolm. What, exactly, do you mean by collapse? Can you please elaborate.
