    Be serious. You can't even predict rain tomorrow.

    Owning a gun;

    Working for yourself;

    Growing your own food;

    Living 'off the grid;'

    Seeking medical assistance without going through a government apparatchik;

    Buying or selling anything by way of 'barter' or any currency other than official government scrip;

    Hopefully, bad spelling and grammar. Those things should have been made crimes 50 years ago.

    That's something that has been bugging me these last few years, Randy. I'm not sure whether it's the computers or the people who use them that have this unhealthy and inexplicable obsession with lower case. What is it about lower case letters that causes such an obsession, and why does it cause such an aversion to capitals? I think I'll post a question about it. Lol:)

    1. Disabling communication satellites of different countries in outer space.
    2. Weaponize satellites in outer space.
    3. More cyber crimes of new technologies, as self driven cars and truck, etc.
    4. Owning books, as knowledge presents problems if it is not controlled.
    5. Free speech may not be available.

    I hate to speculate on the future of social issues. They don't seem to improve---just get worse. So in 50, they will continue doing so. Maybe after fascism, we would have returned to better conditions.

    In 50 years there will be peace and anything that breaks that peace is a lesson for all.  That is the only crime, the crime of breaking the peace and serenity of one's brothers and sisters.

    There will probably be overturned supreme court rulings regarding corporations and their donations. That will probably be a crime in 50 years when we (hopefully) get a few more liberal justices.

  • Maybe some forms of guns.

    How would that work (or not work) exactly?

    Hmmm. I guess you envision Obama stomping on the old man's tomatoes plants. Or are you talking about a business selling rotten food because there is zero regulation?

    Can you do that now? You can barely do anything without paying a private corporation some "rent" money to use their wires.

    I would much rather go through the hoops set up by private insurance companies and doctor's billing contractors. Maybe I could just pay the doctor with the food I grow at home. I'm sure they would accept that.

    Ebay? Craigslist? Bitcoin (technocratic economies)? Apple Pay? If anything the economy will become even more chaotic and unregulated. You'll have to pay a corporation just to pay, like those government mandated ATM fees of olden days.
