Get ready for it: 2008 will be a pivotal year in this planet's history

1. Taiwan presidential election: Ma Ying-jeou expected to win (?)

2. American presidential election: Already some front runners (Hillary and McCain), but the field in both parties is open and anything might happen. Don't listen to the pundits and out-dated consultants.

3. Beijing Olympics: You know this is going to be amazing, no matter what your views are. I'll try to be there.

4. ???

What else will be happening that year? What other countries are having presidential elections? Send your letters to the personnel department in the comments section.

A lot will happen before than, but 2008 will be the year.
