Anyone remember "1984"...a bit of an over-aggressive prediction of the then-future, I would suggest. This was a bit of an UNder-aggressive prognostication, as it turns out. Damn...just can't see the future clearly, I guess...despite protestations otherwise, particularly those who cite past errors to support their current positions (aka, monday-morning-qb's).
1984 was writen before the concept of 'Freindly Facism'... so it was dark.. but now most of use wouldn't notice if we were being run by our Govenment, long as the internet service is fast and the TV has 40,000 channels and we can buy usless crap for no good reason. It's cheeper to 'program' us than it is to rule by brute force... Prisons are expensive..TV networks are cheeper... and cheeper still... silly Websites that show us useless videos while advertising crap we don't need. ;)
As we progress through time, were not getting any better at predicting our future course. Technology is advancing so fast, yet wars are heating up over nothing but greed and power.
I predict Earth's sun will expand to a size engulfing the first four planets in its system, melting all greed and power... unless the bleeding-hear, bed-wetters save us by banning SUVs, the Republican party, soap and neckties, and by eliminating partisan voting, relying on coin-flipping to determine the next leader of the world (coin-flipping does not discriminate based on origin, color, gender, money, religion or perversion).
