My Ten Predictions for 2010

Are you one of those who checks the predictions for the new year? Well 2010 should be an interesting year for predictions. It's not only a new year 2010 is also a year that begins the second decade of this millennium. We haven't even nicknamed this decade yet.

Whether you believe in new year's predictions or not I hope you find this fun. If you've any to add feel free to do so in the comments section below. Some of this year's predictions will only be the beginning of what could very well grow into the next few years at the very least.

These predictions for 2010 are based solely upon the authors meditating, and allowing himself to roam freely within his own mind, and seeing whatever comes into focus. So, if even one of these predictions comes true at all I'll consider myself successfully psychic.

As the only Christmas gift most of you will be getting from me this year, these predictions are for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered...by anybody...most of all though, these should not be considered medical, legal, or financial advice. If it's medical, legal, or financial advice being sought...why are you surfing the web? Get on the phone derr.

My ten predictions for 2010 number one:

According to the National Review of Medicine Alzheimer's Disease turns out to be nothing more than "type III diabetes"...but that's not my prediction...that's old news. My foresight shows that, as researchers get closer to controlling and managing Alzheimer's, they also discover a lot more about types 1 and 2 diabetes. They may even find a cure.

At the very least some wonderful breakthroughs are made. Tremendous inroads into mental health are also made as a result of research into the human brain made by scientists.

My ten predictions for 2010 number two:

Due to the economy, canning and preserving foods becomes "all the rage," again. A few recognize this and strike quickly to make a fortune selling information about how to can. Several "also-rans" attempt to duplicate their success, and tank miserably, resulting in so much whining that, our federal government actually tries to control who sells what online, unsuccessfully.

My ten predictions for 2010 number three:

Food isn't the only area where people try to affect their own fate. The popularity of homeopathic, holistic, self-treatment sees a sharp rise. Self-care's popularity breaks several records. Even "modern" doctors finally begin considering many applications. Published authors in the field enjoy a sharp increase in readership. The fastest-growing field is in teaching yoga. Yoga rocks.

My ten predictions for 2010 number four:

Valentine's Day 2010 will turn out to be more of a vibrant holiday shopping season than that of Christmas 2009. This retail activity will play a major role in the real American economic recovery, but surprisingly, this fact doesn't make much news. This could be due to the banking industry not earning as much on credit sales, as opposed to legitimate retailers from cash sales, but pfffffftt on the banks right?

My ten predictions for 2010 number five:

The Tea Party becomes it's own recognized political party. In response, much of the GOP and DNC membership congeal as an amalgamation of their own political party. The face of American politics will never be the same again. Though it's rough in many regards, by 2011, this turns out to be a wonderful thing.

My ten predictions for 2010 number six:

Somebody, somewhere with a lot more clout than your "friendly neighborhood Writer-Man," finally asks: Why are any government employees anywhere making more than minimum wage? And why, exactly, aren't elected officials on the same type of Social Security as the rest of the citizenry? The ensuing political crap-storm results in the only real Social Security reform America will ever see. Social Security still ceases to exist by the time I retire though.

My ten predictions for 2010 number seven:

Lady Gaga dies of a rare strain of herpes...I'm kidding. Just seeing if you're reading. But Lady Gaga does play a part in one of my predictions. When I close my eyes I see her rescuing a dog. It could just be a case of "I close my eyes and I see Lady Gaga," as per normal. But then what on Earth would a dog have to do with my normal fantasies? Can't say just yet. Let's see how the year plays out.

My ten predictions for 2010 number eight:

Also due to the economy, more than half of the smokers in America attempt one sort of smoking cessation program, or another. So many are successful that, the tobacco companies buy more ad spots on television, offering help quitting smoking in hopes of reminding us all how addictive cigarettes are and how difficult it's supposed to be to quit.

My ten predictions for 2010 number nine:

Marijuana is successfully decriminalized. As an effect of decriminalization, the healthcare bill is paid off in full from tax revenues generated, and organized crime operations are reduced to running carnivals to make money. Of course, the legitimate carnival industry runs them out of business, and in a terribly embarrassing way too.

My ten predictions for 2010 number ten:

Lastly my predictions include one for President Barack Obama is that he takes a nasty political fall as the most dismal failures of any President in American history. This prediction goes on to show the truth is revealed, to be that an international cabal of businesspeople are behind his political demise, desiring to show just how ineffective, and inefficient bureaucracies are, in handling business. This ultimately results in more private individuals realizing how powerful they really are, worldwide, and this in turn eventually leads to "terra libertania" occurring in 2012.

Terra libertania is when the majority of we earthlings come to understand that a) Government is really nothing more than an idea. Better ideas abound in free hearts; b) War is unnecessary; and c) Both the concepts of taxation and the entitlement mentality are recognized as the prime evils they are.
