>>Me too. A tangental issue is the changes in global demographics with the current generation's tendency to produce extra boys, 50m or so is my estimate.

I think we will see drastic changes in what we call 'communtity' and some new trends in urban life as young available females become more and more scarce.

Initially I expect to see a rapid rise in gang activity, and human trafficing. As the generation ages, organized and brutal tyranny on a global scale perpetrated by revolutionaries who do not recognize the legal premise of property ownership and anarcists.<<

I'm curious. Do you really expect global changes that drastic, caused by just 50 million excess boys? Or are you just talking about China?

Either way, it's an interesting prediction.
