B. Local Newspapers Likely to Die Off


Further evidence of the steep decline and inevitable disappearance of most print media. And broadcast news media is not immune to the decline either.

D. Universal State Health Insurance on the Horizon for Some


With the incompetence, petty selfish greed, and widespread pandering to insurance corporations by the Bush Junta preventing any kind of national health insurance coverage coming about, look for a number of state legislatures to introduce and enact legislation for coverage for most if not all state residents that meet certain residency and citizenship requirements. Here in the West, the states that might take these steps include California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, New Mexico, and Colorado. All other Mountain Time Zone and High Plains states will not get to this point of enlightenment anytime soon.
