Brad Fregger, futurist, businessman, author,
professor, international speaker, publisher, father, grandfather, and
soon to be great grandfather, shares his solutions for many of the
world's global crises.
"I haven't seen many reasonable solutions coming from
those in charge, it's time the rest of us let them know what we think. The
world my great grandchild will inherit depends on the decisions we make
(or refuse to make) today."
|
I fear the future, fear my children's world,
the outcome of the massive changes taking
place in our country.
My imagination runs wild with visions of the
breakdown of society,
millions dead and dying,|
cities empty and decaying,
our way of life gone for centuries.
The future like a steamroller
rushes madly downhill
no one at the controls.
Doubt and fear of things to come
still haunt me …
As I move forward into the unknown,
Hope beckons. |

"The future of our society is dependent on
our hopes, expectations, and images of it. ... We can increase the
possibility of a more positive future by developing and nurturing
positive visions and images of it." |

"It is critical to understand that we
are in the middle of an economic world war. And, in this instance, the
competition is not interested in compromise; they are out to get us
and will celebrate in the streets if they are able to make it happen." |

My Thinking Cap
- Chapter 3 |

"The idea that the United States is
somehow not living up to its heritage of welcoming immigrants is very
wrong; the United States is, in fact, continuing to be the most
welcoming nation in the world. ... accepting almost as many immigrants
as the rest of the world combined." |
|
My Thinking Cap
- Chapter 5 |
|
"... the United States can solve the major
issues—the registration and border problem—in one 30-day period. In
addition, I have proposed basic solutions to other issues regarding
undocumented immigrants. I believe these solutions would be acceptable
to the majority of U.S. citizens." |

My Thinking Cap
- Chapter 5 |
|
"I don’t see much wisdom coming from our
“leaders.” In fact, I often see a total lack of wisdom in regard to
some critical issues. ... I am very confident that we have some
exceptional individuals serving us in Congress and throughout the
government, but as a group … let’s just say … they leave a lot to be
desired." |
