Publishers of the journal, the Futurist, are ending their annual meeting today in Minnesota. The meeting costs $600 for non-members to attend. About 1,000 people are expected to attend.

Cause the future of the family is easier to determine than the future of space colonization, I suppose? Perhaps they have had too many black eyes in the past predicting space colonization?
