for the western world the re-election of Bush as president, this single act sent a message to the rest of the world about the American people and the their beliefs.

the fact that the rest of the world already thought they were all thick was just re-established!

seriously his re-election and the subsequent re-election of tony blair in britain sets the agenda for the western powers for the next 4 years. these are worrying times.

Possible subsequent re-election thank you.

I agree - the re-election of Bush is the most significant event of the year.

The arrival of the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn.

Things get even better in a couple of weeks when it drops a probe into the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan.

Most important in the long run...

There are three new "Electoral Democracies" added to the world this year. Indonesia, Afghanistan and Ukrainia. How many millions of people is that?

In the short term the most important is that the News Media can no longer single-handedly destroy the will of the world in the fight for freedom. Like they did in the Viet Nam war. It is perhaps mildly amusing that Dan Rather.... the second most important person in helping defeat the fight against tyranny in that war was brought down this year. Long live the internet and "alternative" news! It is interesting to have watched and to have known what they (elitist media) did then -- Viet Nam era -- compared to how easy it is to expose them with information.


On my own personal passion... the effort to get the human race off this rock so we can turn it into a giant park -- Great News! Individual persons went to space for the first time WITHOUT GOVERNMENT! It was indeed a great year. Now if we can just figure out how to kill NASA entirely. That will be great! What a waste it is.

So, liberalism expands in the third world, while it continues to decline in the United States!

I must agree that such revolutionary developments must rank high on the scale of significance.

But do not ignore the arrival of a small number of 64 bit chess engines.

Your conditioning is showing.

We are more free now than ever. Thanks to rejection of "mindless" liberalism. And adoption of true liberal ideas and philosophies.

You don't need to hate us anymore. The conditioned mindless minions of the world can do that. Oh. I forgot. You always have to be on the "winning" side. Sorry. I forgot your insecure nature.

Can 64 bit chess engines pull ten cars up the slope to snowhomish like the little engine that could? 😞🙄😀
