[GCFL-discuss] Headlines for the year 2029

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

Its a mixed bag Frank. Some of them suggest problems that don't really
exist, a future that isn't going to come close. But a lot of them are
exactly what you said too. The hard part is getting a good focus on what
is worth trying to fix, figuring out which part of it we can fix even if
we try, then having the courage to go ahead in spite of jokes saying not
to bother, while still enjoying jokes about everybody else's really
stupid ideas.
