In a 1971 speech, Paul Ehrlich predicted that: "By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people." ... "If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."

18 Spectacularly Wrong Predictions Made Around the Time of the First Earth Day In 1970
When I was in elementary school in the late 60s and early 70s we had these things called SRS Readers. They were about 10 page long short stories, color coded by topics, and we would have to do a short report on one every week.

My Dad read one of my reports and was PISSED. He went to the school (private Catholic school) and had them removed from the curriculum for the next school year.
Ya they werent all as dystopian as I made it seem but Im sure it was nearly all propaganda bullshit. It shows how long this grooming of children has been going on and how active its been.
You are the first person Ive run across that remember these. Did you go to a private school too?
