Most likely I will be stuck behind enemy lines in "Occupied America", fighting off a Soviet Invasion alongside Don Swayze.

I had no idea Patrick had a brother!

GF, what happened eleven years ago to make you change your plan?

an awakining LOL! you know how when we are young we think we'll never grow old and die ? my parents are only about 20 years older than me so I never thought about growing old and what will I do when retirement comes then at about 45 years old (or so) I thought I'd better get my ass in gear so that I can relax one day and my wife and would be able to leave our son something, now believe it or not I look forward to retireing and living each day what ever it might bring as I age, I call life "The Great Adventure" because that's what it has been and I don't see that changing.

In 20 years il be about to turn 50 and my son-to-be will be a man.
I'd like to be dirtbaggin from one adventure to the next. Working on the Triple Crown and knocking off the Colorado 14ers, notching a first ascent in the Andes, climbing big walls, chasing big waves and fat trout, reading, writing, smoking, and giving all the time I can to anyone who can use it.
Wife at my side, son forging ahead.

I hope by that age we can finally give up the need for money and stability and live on experiences.

Nice. I nearly died in a car accident 5 years ago, so my plan is to simply be alive which means I'll be happy.

Well amen to that.

As to the cool-headed question in your other post, I'd say that I (and Brian too? ) certainly have some hot-headed moments as well. La passionata!

Cheers, GF!

I've told BB before that this state still can't get over being racist towards African Americans. We haven't evolved to Muslim hatred yet. He'll be fine here!

Some interesting answers here. Enjoyed reading them.

If I were say 30 to 35 years old this would be my answer:

In twenty years I hope my family/extended family/friend relationships and support systems are stronger than ever. Good support systems will be very helpful in the future. At the same time, I'd like to learn more about the bigger world out there and keep in touch with others around the world.

I'd like to learn to both live well and and at the same time live more simply and live more cooperatively while also more self-sufficiently. I'd like to be in a mutually supportive community.

But in my real life and at my age what I really want in twenty years is to be living closer to the coast again and have done something with my life that I can really feel good about. In twenty years I hope I have better peace of mind.

These are the real important things in life...it´s all about family and friends/relationships and having a good life full of love and peace. Something you can be proud of...having done good things to people, animals and nature...

So 20 years before I had a more clear imagination of where I would like to be...
but sometimes life...don´t leave you alone...
Some of your wishes you already see coming just can´t become true...

So I´m just hoping I will be happy...in a world with more love and peace...
Oh and for sure that my loved ones are healthy and lucky too...

...Peace of mind...

You can always look back fondly on your time here and know that you have passed the torch to some of the younger folks-(hippies) that share a lot of your views.Its my opinion you have had a major impact on driving the conversation on the ideals you find so important.And have been a steady voice of reason on most issues.I think there may be some legacy here,thanks to you.

Also you built the best thread on this site.The Lounge is your baby.

If the world looks the way I anticipate it looking in twenty years - I'm thinking Mars or six feet under.

Id chill with you on Mars

Think we can hotbox the planet? Maybe 'Mer'ca's war on drugs won't hold weight in space. Can you imagine getting high in the space shuttle, for that matter? Talk about the experience of a lifetime.
