T he year 2000 has now become a reality. At some point in time, we have all imagined what the year 2000 would hold for us. Would we be driving cars that fly? Would we live on another planet? Would there be a cure for cancer? These are all questions that have stemmed from futuristic images in the minds of many Americans. The year 2000 is here and while it§ likely that many of our predictions have not been met, some areas such as science and tech¬ nology have surpassed our greatest expectations. However, it is doubtful that the general popu¬ lation of five, 10, 20 or even 100 years ago would have anticipated the crime, poverty and health prob¬ lems our society faces today.

Technology has allowed us to do in one year what would have taken 10 in the 1800 . With such quick progress, we cer¬ tainly can ' t predict the advance¬ ments this century will hold for us. Some things we can already see. A 6-year- old girl was shot in Michigan by a class¬ mate this year. Gun- ownership rights and the availability of guns will be key issues in this new centu- ry. With each passing day, this coun- try§ population grows, and within it is a diverse group of faces. Just as women§ rights and civil rights were tender issues of the 1900 , other minority rights will be addressed in this century.
