I would like to see a discussion of the changes we should expect at the end of the "Baby Boom" and the effects of its and other population shifts as we approach some kind of stability in these effects or what additional shifts we can expect in future.
It will keep many politicians and party surges alive if we wait untile the effects of such changes are upon us rather than planning for them and seeing this big population bump as and anomoly followed by less dramitic spikes.
This issue should animate your disucssion of many areas of concern from building schools to the numbers of workers and administrators we train each year.
What other cycles are to be found in other countries and even regions from wars (Germany, France, Russia...), famins, tsunamies, ect.? What are the world wide cycles which might effect our plans and preparations?

Stone phoned this one in. Passed up the elephant in the room of a story for appealing to 2 and 3 time box office appearance making pubescents (..."I love you Winnie" ...ouch!) The economy is on peoples minds more than science fiction, sports, love, war and just about anything else you can think of and as a genre still hasn't been tapped for the potential a rapt public would fall in line at the box offic for. Please, somebody come along, treat the pregnant story with the artistry its waiting to be treated with and knock it out of the park ...for the adults that is. Does everything have to be for "the children" these days?

these crook money changers have been screwing people out of their money for ever. now the same people make movies about it to get more money out of people.it's like these scams happened in a vacuum by a group of unknown aliens. but we all know who these people are...[I can't write their names since they will delete the post again]

The only useful sequel would be totally fanciful where the too-clever wise-guys were incarcerated for crimes against humanity, starting with untouchables within govt a la Hank Paulson, Larry Summers et al, followed by Lloyd Blankfein, Robert Rubin and the rest of rapers of the world's resources into recession - if not depression.

The "2008 thing" was actually caused by the Democratic and Republican parties-Nader had it right along. Isn't it surprising that C.Peete Rose has not had ANY guests on his show who explicate this cause(so collusively denied by the stable of Democrats who regularly appear)? And Oliver, what's with your brown hair. I thought all of us veterans of the 25th had grey hair by now!

The first Wall Street made sense because, on a deeper level, it was all about information and what people are willing to do to get it. The backdrop of wall street, lbo's, insider trading, etc. was applicable but still just circumstantial.
The sequel seems like it was just cobbled together with no real aim or purpose other than to capitalize on the recent crisis. you got your energy trading, your stock trading, your private equity, your banking takeovers, cdos, mbs's cds's, and so on, but it really doesn't go anywhere. It's basically just an excuse for Gekko to come back and opine on the current mess in finance and central banking.
But in this, Gekko just looks old, and tired, and out of energy; he's just not really relevant anymore.
He's a dinosaur; but, unfortunately, he's too old and dumb to find his way to the nearest tar pit.
