2036

One of my father's dreams before dieing is to see that the end of communism.
I got a link http://www.johntitor.com/ where it looks that a person came from the year 2036 with a time machine to year 2000. Here he gives some hint about the history he knows in his time line.A part of it is:

"""""In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe. The United States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along with the AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country) won. The European Union and China were also destroyed. Russia is now our largest trading partner and the Capitol of the US was moved to Omaha Nebraska."""""

With the current scenario, by 2011 communism will end in West Bengal - and another 4 more years to get the end of China. HUH.

Few more interesting points the time traveler says:

There is no large industrial complex creating masses of useless food and recreational items.
Food and livestock is grown and sold locally.
People spend much more time reading and talking together face to face.
Religion is taken seriously and everyone can multiply and divide in their heads.
One of the biggest reasons why food production is localized is because the environment is affected with disease and radiation. We are making huge strides in getting it cleaned up. Water is produced on a community level and we do eat meat that we raise ourselves.

On my worldline, life is not easy. We live in a world recovering from years of war, poison, destruction and hate. All of it, courtesy of the thinking and actions of people that live right now in the same world you do, worrying about which stocks to buy or whether or not a stranger is lying to them on the Internet.

It's a interesting site - visit and grab some information regarding our future !!

Lift

My parking in the office is at -2. Three other persons also joined me.There are going to 0 while I'm moving to 1.

I enter the lift first then three guys. One of them who entered the last started pressing the button to close the door - I was watching that actually he is pressing the wrong one, that actually opens instead of closing. After doing that 3-4 times he's frustrated. He asks the fellow on the other side of the lift to push the close button - he does and door closes. The first guy says that the button on his side is not working - his friend says how will that work if you push the incorrect one. He is a bit ashamed - he glances towards me - I give him a smile. All of us laugh quietly.
