Will governments in the future be bigger or smaller?
Will all governments be more socialistic?
Will the world be grouped as wealthy areas and huge ghettos spanning much of the southern hemisphere?
Will the southern hemisphere's ecology degrade as the nothern's improves?
Will governments be more heavily armed against radical groups armed with more devasting bombs, or will the world be less armed and peaceful with a greater distribution of wealth?

As it stands i don't hold much hope for the 'South' catching up with the riches of the 'North'. If there were to be a change in attitude by govts and world organisations then maybe we could help to pull the 'south' out of poverty, I hope this happens soon.
I think you are right about the environment, the North can increasingly afford to improve its own as mfg leaves for other areas (though not enough) whilst Southern govts feel they would have to sacrifice economic development for protercting their environ,mnet. The two issues are closely linked and a global solution is required.
There seems to be a trend towards greater armament but not a re-armament to anything like Cold War levels
That is why a global solution is required........

The Democrats have become fearless in being accused of being soft on terrorism whenever they stand up for civil liberties and diplomacy.
Also, they're reporting that the "chatter" today is telling Muslims to get out of Boston, New York and other places because an attack is imminent. Of course, the people decipering this chatter are probably Arab Americans working for the CIA. So, it's also been reported that this intercept is being discounted.
Frankly I am not one bit happy to anybody checking my calls or emails, and the temptation to send emails pretending to be someone else just to piss off the authorities is very big. Today is fighting against terrorism, tomorrow is knocking at people's doors because they've talked about taking drugs on an email. Screw that!
My friend and I wrote to the Saudi Arabian embassy after 9/11 to tell them lot's of people still welcome Muslims in America. That email would have made someone's list too.
