The End of the Age of the Dictator
the great , crazed one are gone.Hitler, Stalin, Mao......the second rate ones...the Perons, the Saddams, the Amins, the Kims, the Marcos's, the Pol Pots are going or gone
the Communist Politburo in Beijing, and Mugabe in Zimbabwe and the theocrats in Iran and the generals in Burma don't sleep well at night, for they know it's only a brutal secret police and a tenuous control of the army that keeps them from being strung up on lampposts....
all over the world people are hearing the message, written in the blood of patriots and dictators the last 200 years, that first came from a bunch of white middle aged (some slave owning) guys in Philadelphia one hot summer.......that the rights of the people are given to them by a higher power, and can not be taken away by any government...that the ONLY purpose for a government is to safeguard these rights, and when it doesn't have the just consent of the govern well, it shall be done away with.....
a hundred years from now, assuming we don't blow ourselves up or loose a plague on the world, history classes will look back in disbelief and scorn at some ideas loose in the world today....that a few generals can run a country; that a hundred imans can tell 20,000,000 people what to think; and what seems to be so fearsome today will be just another idea discarded on the trash heap of history....

Well, a lot has already happened during the 107 years that this age includes. Many wars have been fought, nuclear proliferation threatened to wipe out the world, space exploration became reality, the internet was born...
If I had to name the period, it would be "The Technology Age" - because all of the significant things I listed above are highly technological in their focus. Wars were revolutionized by improvements in armor and weaponry (such as the incredible advances in tanks, howitzers, bombers, etc), nuclear proliferation was a direct result of the focus of the world powers on technological study and research (and also lead to the possibility for nuclear power plants), technology's impact on space exploration is fairly obvious, and of course - the internet is the embodiment of technology in it's purest form.

I only became 50 and that i'm a grandmother, yet i don't evaluate myself a senior citizen. So, i'm hoping ya'll do not ideas me being here on seniors, yet i think greater comfortable, the questions are plenty greater beneficial.

We still have a ways to go before 2100, so I don't think we can give it a real answer yet.

I remember Winston Churchill said that we are entering the age of consequences.
