I see. So the trend is that at the end of each decade human beings tend to create "nightmare' situations for themselves. Well I hope the Y2K bug is not one of those situations but it appears that is the most likely one to add to the list. And the "1989 fall of the Berlin Wall, which signified the global demise of communism." was a nightmare depending on which end of the wall you're on, I guess. <VBG> So if there is a trend, it tends to be socio-economic. Right? Doesn't really give in to what it might be, since they are all apparently precipitated by unrelated events. Is there a quantification or scale of 'nightmare-ishness' on which you can rate these trends? Like a seismic scale or something?
