Even half of those things coming to pass would make for a dismal year; I can't argue with any of them, though :/ The only one I would look forward to is 9, the rest I would fear or be indifferent to. I hate the gold mongers who go on TV to talk about how gold is "real" and money is "fake" (I'm looking at you Ron Paul), as if they've never taken community college level Econ 101. All money is abstract, and commodities tend to rise in a poor economy. End of story. I hope all the cash for gold assholes go bust; I won't feel sorry for them.
