Rant by a bitter cynical man:
When I was a child I grew up watching shows like Star Trek and it showed how wonderful the future would be. Then there was Space 1999 where we had a Moon Base and cool space ships. We had landed on the moon ; yes I thought that things would be great.
Then later we had a space shuttle I thought the future would be good indeed. Twelve years after 1999 we have no Moon Base. We certainly have nothing like Star Trek. Heck we no longer have a space shuttle.
The future is now and it is begining to look more like Soylent Green than anything else.
We have no household robots. No flying cars. No moonbase no human on Mars.
The cars we have still run on dirty gas that we buy from nations that hate us. We still have no reliable source of energy.
"Green" is a joke it just means buying a four cylinder car made in Japan instead of a safe eight cylinder car made in the USA to provide our people with good jobs.
We have no cure for cancer. Like my octogenian neighbor says "of course not if they cured it they couldn't get money out of people buy treating it."
Instead they have heart transplants so people can live a few more miserable years and pay taxes.
Oh we have computers and cell phones so places can spam your e-mail and no matter where you are people can call you and try to sell you junk. Kids drive and text and cause accidents.
Our once great nation with ten percent unemployment is going through the worst depression in many years. Our "leaders" just point the finger and blame. The U.S.A. is looking like a third world nation. Even illegal aliens don't want to come here as much.
Most of what we buy is junk made in China.
Half the world is starving the other half is fat. We still have wars. People still steal. Politicians are still corrupt.
Whoopie gays are in the military and can marry. I won't judge that as bad but to hear the media crow about it they make it sound like a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.
Human nature has not changed.
We teach our children to have no honor but instead to be fearful sheep. Sheep without a good shepard because we teach them that "God is dead."
Maybe people want God to be dead because God must be sad and angry. Angry at how corrupt his church has gotten and disapointed with mankind which he made in his image.
