Roebear,

<I read an old demographic study some 15-20 years ago, the source is long lost to me, but one thing that stuck in my mind is a statement that study made. It said to watch Japan because what happens there (re demographics) would happen here 15 years later.>

You recall why? Is it because of the aging population?

I just heard some statistics on this the other day, on a global basis. In a way it is somewhat frightening. I suspect Japan is a leader in the percentages of aged folk.
