worst nightmare is a massive decrease in the population.
greatest hope is to own a bar on the beach.
30 days in it looks like this Obama thing ain't exactly what you made it out to be back on Nov 5th. oh well.
My worst fear is that we end up living in a "1984" world, with government providing a "equality of misery" existence.
My greatest hope is that we truly quench the thirst of the tree of liberty with the blood of some tyrants (banksters, bought and paid for politians) and unfortunately, some true patriots.
My worst nightmare is a situation that would put us in martial law, cause gun confiscation, mass surveillance, forced vaccinations, and having RFID chips implanted under our skin.
My greatest hope, is that the all the other animals on this "animal farm" wake up and crush Mr. Jones.
Worst nightmare: be unhealthy
Greatest hope: tap Scarlett Johansson
As exciting as some people seem to think doing battle in the streets would be, this I truly hope it doesn't happen in the US. Come-on people, all the hard-ass talk is about something you do not want, I think I can guarantee that.
On the brighter side of things, I hope the cost of beer suddenly drops to about half what it is now, that would make me happy. For some reason it seems to be getting more expensive, so why, oh holy beer Gods, is that?
Worst fear: No Food.
Greatest hope: The scum is flushed out quickly and we can start to rebuild. The sooner the better.
Hey Keith, could you please add Chicago to the list of riots so we can vote on. Merci.
Quite honestly, my worst nightmare has already happened. The majority of Americans (and frequenters of this forum) don't remember what the American Dream is - let alone believe it.
My greatest hope? That life ends up being more like the Road Warrior movies than like a Huxleyian or Orwellian dystopia.
I am with the guy on tapping Scarlet Johansson. Is that part of the stimulus package?
Seriously ... my greatest fear is that my two sons have to fight and die in a stupid war or someone kills them for a Snikers. I'll clean toilets for a living for the rest of my days if I don't have to experience that.

I'll answer my own:
In terms of fear, it's society breaking down, all cash worthless, all wealth disappears, and a desperate bid for survival in western civilization. I truly think that's on the table now. More so in countries in Eastern and Central Europe than America and the UK, but even in 'safe' areas there could be societal breakdown.
It's that bad.
In terms of hope, I'll join the Scarlet Johansson bid. And that we nationalize the banks next week, arrest Mozilo and Perry and Fuld, and begin the recovery sooner than anyone expected.
And that we tackle entitlements head-on, making the trillions we just spent chump change vs. what we just saved.
Anon:

-------
I share that fear with you anon. I worry a lot about the kids, all kids.
Greatest hope: Throw all the criminals in jail; make America the beautiful place it once was.
My greatest fear is that my 2 daughters will spend all of their adult life in a soviet-cuban type of world where there is no personal, political or economic freedom. My greatest hope is that a new political party will arise from the ashes and sewage we now have and restore the USA to the country our founders had hoped and prayed it would become. Also, I am single, and I want to be the second one to nail Scarlett Johanssen, or at least Julie Banderas (a real hottie!).
My worst fear? Having to return to the United States BEFORE the implosion plays out. I reckon at least three years, possibly five, before it's safe. Make that a decade if the country breaks up a la Yugoslavia when the dollar becomes worthless and Americans turn on each other en masse a la Serbs and Croats. (I take care of some of them down here too, and the psychotic hatred stemming from the WW II massacres and the 1990s viciousness is still simmering just below the surface.)
My greatest hope? That I get hired by some hospital in Vancouver, because my wife doesn't like Australia the way I do and wants to be closer to her friends in Northern California. I hope Canada keeps it together, and has a nice orederly break-up when the U.S. does. (There are regional tensions in the Great White North too.) It would be so nice to end my working career in the newly independent Ecotopian Republic of the Pacific Northwest, and then retire to a house in San Francisco that I'll buy with my Swiss gold.
A big dream, yes, but you asked for worst/greatest. And if it all falls apart tomorrow; I get a diagnosis of bran cancer, I can look back and say "I lived a hell of a life; I experienced the high point of American civilisation before the crash; I had it so good in so many ways. Dying's a bitch, but at least I LIVED!"

Put down that crack pipe and get professional help.
My greatest hope is that you won't publish the inane Obama spammer anymore, Keith.
Yes Sir; we are quite aware that politicians are corrupt. Thanks for that Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious.
Worst nightmare: starvation and anarchy. Getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing you can do.
Greatest hope: Family with hot wife.
Another idea, though.
If the government owes all this social security to me and they own my mortgage, then why not do a swap and pay down some principle on the loan? Just cancel it out on the government books. They already printed the cash to buy the loan from the third party -- they are paid. They already garnished my labor for the social security. If they allowed the principle buy down to occur than throw in a clause that will prevent you from taking out the equity. Maybe it would only apply to 30 year loans which many people were going to retire at some point in the loan anyways. Don't allow it on arm loans etc.
Seems like a good idea. Ya, I know Clinton spent the social security cash but it seems like an idea.
Worst nightmare? Zombies eating people in the streets, I Am Legend style.
That, and that the world looks at us for the leaches that we are, cuts us off, and does things on their terms, without us.
Greatest hope? Running a tab over at BTL's beach bar.
And a technological revolution in energy, nanotechnology and space exploration which ushers in the means to pay down the national debt, and give back to a world that has given us so much.
Oh and to chime in again... I second that Scarlett Johansson and raise you an Anne Hathaway, both accompaning me at BTL's beach bar.
My greatest hope is to one day make a zombie movie.
I don't know how I can get that orange 'dead man walking' color tone, but I know who to ask.
Worst fear?
To wake up one day and realize I have a recourse loan on my mortgage.
DOPES!!!
hey bukko, whats the pros and cons living in ozzie land.
"Greatest hope: tap Scarlett Johansson"
______________________________
And this is why my greatest hope will never come true. Because most of my fellow Americans are idiots and are fixated on T&A.
an obama second term
My greatest fear at the moment is that the IRS is going to levy my bank acct. again and take my rent $$. Beyond that - having to go live commune style and crime/anarchy.
Greatest hope is to not live out the rest of my years in fear.
Worst nightmare: Total societal breakdown - martial law, massive Rex 84 "FEMA" encampment, lots of dead bodies, son shipped off to a needless war.
Greatest hope: The scum is cleared away, FEMA camps converted to imprison Mozillo, Greenspan, Paulson, and all the other economic terrorists for life, and my kids prosper in a country they can be proud of.
My worst nightmare would have been being in the middle of World War 3 if McCain had been elected.
My greatest hope would have been if Obama threw Hillary and the Communists under the bus instead of Blogojevich.
Where we are today is a slow descent into national insolvency like the former USSR.
I'm like a deer in the headlights not knowing whether to hang on to cash for dear life, buy gold, or short stocks.
I love it when I see the fat pigs start to squeel in fear. Time to feast!
My greatest fear is that society breaks down and we end up living in a Third World country type of existence. We are the United States though so that will most likely not happen.
My greatest hope is that the government comes to their senses and reduces the principal amount on people's home mortgage, credit card debt and car loans. I hope that happens.
Even if we do experience a serious downturn and we get kicked out of our townhouse, we will be fine. I am a nurse and my wife is a school teacher. Both of us have G.G.J. (Good Government Jobs) and we have stashed away a lot of money in a safe deposit box and yes, we are slowly loading up on gold (I want 50% of my cash to be in gold and the other 50% in cold hard cash).
This is getting interesting and God only knows how bad things will get.
Worst fear: dying of old age.
Greatest hope: Hang'em high.
I see there's not much revolutionary spirit on this board. First you have to get mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore!
Worst fear is that one day I'll be trying to explain to a granddaughter what a "restaurant" was and I'll be watching Camelot rot away beneath us.
Greatest hope is that people unite behind a common cause (like in WWII) and are willing to make sacrifices to turn this thing around-- and turn global warming around (yes, I'm a believer)-- because if we don't, economic problems will be the least of our worries.
Fear: Martial law and rations, hyperinflation.
Hope: Katy Perry takes refuge from it all in my pants. Oh, big picture? The crooks that did this die penniless in jail. Bush, Cheney, Mozilo, etc. Forced feedings and 24/7 Britney Spears in Guantanamo would be perfect.
Worst nightmare: Adolf Hitler. Don't kid yourself - this is possible.
A dysfunctional electoral system (check), widespread misunderstanding about the cause of their dowfall (check) and economic hardship (check) all allowed a psychopathic demogogue to seize power in an otherwise normal, respectable society.
Who will we all run to when Obama fails? And fail he will.
Greatest hope: Ron Paul. The Constitution. Electoral reform to liberate government from monied special interests.
And Scarlett Johanssen. Drunk. In a French maid costume. Just out of a 6 month sentence in a women's prison. Did I mention drunk?
Worst nightmare: The entitlement culture prevails despite what reality allows.
Greatest hope: In the US we start building car free, enlightening, welcoming cities. Cities for people instead of for moving machines around.
My worst nightmare has already happened.
My greatest hope is for Karl Denninger to take over this country--or at least organize a revolt.
Greatest fear is that no matter what everyone says to the contrary, that it turns out there really is an illuminati/elite banker/conspiracy--you know, all that stuff people say and the "net sites talk about--the masons, NWO, Rothschilds stuff.
Greatest hope---we can get back to reality and business as usual----NOT!!!!
1984 is coming:

"Bill proposes ISPs, Wi-Fi keep logs for police"
Worst fear:
Nuclear Holocaust
Greatest Hope:
New bubble arises to pull us out of this mess.
Greatest fear: There will be no revolution.
Greatest hope: The revolution will be successful, per the objectives below:
First Objectives(within 30 days)
-- Stop all foreign wars.
- Unleash the military on gangs-shoot on sight.
-Hang everyone in Washington and Wall Street.
- Shut down the Federal Reserve and have the Treasury issue the money.
- Restore the rule of law per the constitution
- Hang all lobbists.
- Deport all criminal elements.
Focus on classical education from the first grade through college- make real citizens.
If a new threat emerges on the country, hunt down all banking families around western Europe and USA and eliminate them.
Restore the Republic.
The chains of slavery are heavy;free men and ideals change the world, not policy.
Anonymous @ 12:21 a.m., the best things about living here are that society is orderly; life is relaxed -- it has a First World lifestyle with a beach town feel -- and Oz is a politically correct place. Gays, different ethnicities, women's rights -- they're all respected. I'm not saying it's liberal la-la land, but folks try to do the Rodney King thing ""Can't we all just get along?" The food's damn good too, at least where I live, with all sorts of ethnic cuisines and "Mod Oz" Aussie cooking. Far better than that British sludge Keith has to put up with.
Bads -- things don't work as well here as in the U.S. Shops not open, stuff just doesn't get done. The lack of certain consumer products like Monterey Jack cheese and butter in 1/4 pound sticks wrapped in wax paper drives my wife crazy. I say "Get over it" but little shit bugs her.
Over it all is the spectre of environmental collapse due to global warming. And there's the distance factor. When you move down here, no one visits because it's so farking far away and expensive to fly to. In these troubled times, I say that's a good thing -- makes me feel immune to global catastrophe -- but it gets to some people like my wife.
And anonymous right after my comment -- make up a freaking screen name, unless you're too gutless -- if someone had said in 1969 that the Soviet Union might break up, that Czechoslovakia might dissolve into two countries that were NOT comunist, that Yugoslavia might erupt into a genocidal war and become FIVE different nations, you might have said "put down the opium pipe" (because crack had not yet been invented and pushed into American society by the CIA.) But you would have been as intelligent then as you are today. Which is not very.
Worst fear: all of the world under muslim rule. (This is worse than human extinction in my book).
Best hope: Some remnant of Western Civilization will survive, minus the political correctness.
Greatest Fear - America becomes a thrid world banana and jesus junta.
Greatest Hope - Live long enough to take part in the Second American Revolution.
Deo Vendice
Good luck to all of you, even Dopes.

You couldn't guarantee a ham sandwich.
Just because your fat drunk ass will be hiding behind your couch, doesn't mean your neighbors won't be doing the work that needs to be done.
Your choice flapchest, man up or bitch out.
worse nightmare: The country really is filled with 10:29's
greatest hope: The Constitution wins
.
Hey George Orwell?
What do you think about all this?
.
.
Worst nightmare....Roseanne Barr
Greatest Hope.....Carrie Underwood
.
Worst nightmare?

-------------------------------
Dude you better go read the story again.... So you're hoping for what transpired AFTER Jones was kicked out?
Then you're just a f-ing commie.
Mmmmm those delicious SNIKERS bars.....
Can't get enough SNIKERS. Caramel, chocolate, peanuts and nougat.
All in a delicious tasty satisfying SNIKERS bar.
Yumm...
And I love to wear my "A SNIKERS" to work and to play. Made by Nike, these sneakers are to die for!
I heard someone killed my neighbor for that new video game called "A SNIKERS". But it was worth it, since it is such a great game.
bwahaha...Bukko is trying to convince himself that he didn't make a very stupid choice by moving to dusty OZ. Dude, you screw up big time and even your wife knows it.
I rather live in Northern California or Vancouver than move to the end of the world where, AS YOU SAID, most things aren't efficient. I just came back from a nice wine tasting trip in Sonoma, stopping along the way to see friends, as I'm looking for cheap properties to buy.
Australia is sooo overrated! Nice place to visit, but live there? Things are freaking expensive. Moreover, you both work in a sector that's growing like crazy in the US, nursing. I have a friend from another country who earns $90k per year, as a nurse, to a rich retired CPA in San Fran. All he does is watch the old man, push his chair around, and give his meds, while kicking at his mansion. He just reads and watches moves most of the time. Oh and the x-mas bonuses are $3k! There are many jobs like that in CA alone.
Yep, waste your time and money in OZ, genius. Your wife is right; your lifestyle sucks there.
Can anyone give me tips and tidbits as to what neighborhoods to look at over in South OC and Central California? My email is mitesh.damania => gmail.com
